By calmly fianchettoing his king's bishop in reply to the King's Indian and Grünfeld, White seeks to draw the sting from these dynamic defences and exert positional pressure throughout the middlegame. By refusing to create a massive pawn-centre, he offers Black no target for counterplay. Some of the lines become very sharp, especially if Black makes an all-out attempt to generate counterplay and provokes White into hand-to-hand fighting. These lines in particular call for accurate, detailed analysis, and Janjgava provides this in abundance.

1.0 out of 5 stars
waste of money for average players,
By Mateinten "JT" (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: King's Indian & Grunfeld: Fianchetto Lines (Paperback)
If you like books that give pages and pages of annotated lines, with little explanation of strategy and ideas of the opening lines that it gives...then this is the book for you. If you want to learn more about these openings, which one would need to understand the underlying strategies which this book does not give...then this book is a waste of money. If you make up the less than 1% of chess players that comprise masters and up, then this book would make a great addition to your growing collection. If you are not a master, which I am sure you are not, then look elsewhere for books on these lines.

5.0 out of 5 stars
a reference work for years to come,
By
This review is from: King's Indian & Grunfeld: Fianchetto Lines (Paperback)
Gambit - the british publishing house led by GM's Nunn and Chandler and FM Burgess - nowadays has the best catalog of chess books. Janigawa's new work is a fine additon to Gambit's catalog: a deep and well researched book. 11 chapters analyze all you need to know to play fianchetto lines against both KID and Grunfeld, while a index of variations at the end of the book will be a practical way to easily find the specific line you're lookin' for. Though verbal explanations are good and numerous this is - as all the rest of Gambit opening guides - a book addressed to Masters and stronger players, too.
