Below is my comment for a CHESS REVIEWS column by Michael Stevenson (NZ Chess Magazine):
As requested, I am glad to provide a short comment for NZ Chess Magazine. ‘Understanding the King's Indian’ is, primarily, the collection of the 56 selected King's Indian games, played and annotated by me. 55 of these games I played as Black, and one - as White. All notes are new. The most known of my opponents are, probably: Ivanchuk and Bareev (albeit games against these two are from junior tournaments), Kasidmzhanov, Portisch, Dreev, I.Sokolov, Van Wely, Piket. One may correctly guess that I included in the book not only my wins, but also draws and losses. Additional theoretical material, which is provided in every of 12 Chapters, allows reader to use the book as a repertoire King's Indian book for Black. Hopefully, the readers may find in my book some other qualities as well. One way or another, the book is a result of playing the King's Indian as Black for some 25 years. My best so far ELO rating was 2570 in 1995. More about myself and my work can be found in the web, at www.geocities.com/mikhail_golubev
With a very best regards from Odessa, Ukraine.
