The concept of the series "Opening for White according to Kramnik" is as simple as innovative. Former FIDE world champion Khalifman helps you building a complete repertoire for White, using as a model the repertoire of Vladimir Kramnik – the only chessplayer who has beaten Kasparov in a match. The author guides you through the deep of variations, relying on Kramnik's choice and taste whenever possible.

This approach proves extremely rewarding nowadays with databases of millions of games, offering you numerous continuations virtually on every move. Khalifman not only makes the choice for you, but also explains the ideas behind the moves and adds in his own analyses.

The first book of the series has been unavailable for the last 18 months and in that time Khalifman has updated his work adding in plenty of new material and making refinements to the existing work. The result is that the new material now covers two books (Volume 1-b which is available now and Volume 1-a which is available in roughly a month).

Volume 1b covers the King’s Indian. Volume 1-a will contain the anti-Gruenfeld, old Indian and off-beat lines of the King's Indian.

The other volumes which are all available at £14.99 each cover:

Volume 2: Anti-Nimzo-Indian with 1.Nf3 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3, Anti-Queen's Indian, Hedgehog system and other variations in the English Opening.
Volume 3: Maroczy system, English Opening with 1...c5, Modern Defence, Dutch Defence and some rare lines.
Volume 4: Slav, Semi-Slav, Queen's Gambit Accepted and other less popular systems.
Volume 5: Queen’s Gambit Declined.
