It seems unfair that Black gets all the attacking chances in the normal lines of the King's Indian. Readers can now take a tip from the World's leading expert of sharp systems and shock their opponent with the Four Pawn Attack! Black has countless ways to go wrong, while White is risking little if well-prepared. Vaisser's hitherto unpublished analysis will give readers the edge they need to send Black's King to the guillotine. The Four Pawn Attack can also be used against the Modern and Old Benoni. AN, 160 pages (American Batsford, 1997).

5.0 out of 5 stars
a large notch above most opening books,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beating the King's Indian and Benoni (Paperback)
This is a labor of love; and it is an incredible well-presented openings work. There are diagrams at all the key, logical spots; preferred variations are marked with underline (this is very helpful); it is the best of both worlds with in depth variations throughout the opening, along with a complete game format. Another reviewer wrote a fine summary of the chapters but gave three stars because of a bias toward white. I think this is very unfair. It is true that white wins the games, but the author is constantly showing variations that were worse for white. His point is to guide you along the best paths to white, and those naturally will be those lines where white wins. Finally, I love the opening itself. I am one of those players who thinks people who play the king's indian and benoni deserve to be "punished." Giving them one of those long, slow positional games is just what they want. The four pawns is "in your face" and makes the game wild and agressive, right in the opening. White often sacs a pawn to enhance his initiative. In short, this is no-holds-barred ultra-exciting modern dynamic chess. This work by Vaisser is truly wonderful.

Exceptional book,

This review is from: Beating the King's Indian and Benoni (Paperback)
The writers of opening books tend not to divulge their secrets for obvious reasons. Vaisser, in this book of his, has revealed a great deal of home analysis. This feature alone makes this book exceptional. I have used this analysis and have reaped rich rewards.

Excellent Book,
This review is from: Beating the King's Indian and Benoni (Paperback)
The 4 pawns attack is an excellent and exciting line to play against the King's Indian Defense, and this book has every nut and bolt you need to win with it. Unlike most books, which leave out the obscure lines, this book covers it all (By the way, the obscure lines are in the notes to Game 16). 19 heavily annotated games will give you everything concept you need to win. For example, the 4 pawns attack is not for those who depend on material count, and must be willing to sacrificek, but often you never know when to do that. This book will tell you.
