This Kotronias on the King's Indian Fianchetto Systems by Vassilios Kotronias is an English-language paperback chess opening book that gives Black a detailed guide to one of the sharpest branches of the King's Indian Defence. It focuses on the popular g3 system and combines concrete analysis with the practical ideas that matter in the middlegame.
What this book is about
Vassilios Kotronias leads the reader through the King's Indian Defence against fianchetto systems, with a full treatment of Black's answers to this widely used setup. The book is not limited to move-by-move theory: it also explains the typical positional and tactical motifs, making it easier to see how the plans for both sides work in practice.
This is a useful study book for players, coaches and ambitious club players who want to build a stronger Black repertoire in the King's Indian Defence or organise their knowledge of fianchetto systems. Its substantial length also makes it suitable as a reference volume to return to before a tournament or when reviewing your own games.
