Viktor Bologan: The King’s Indian (PC-DVD)

Video Running Time: 5 hours 10 mins

The King's Indian is one of the most interesting and aggressive defences Black can choose. The World Champions Bobby Fischer and Garry Kasparov used to play this opening often and with great success. Today, world class players such as Boris Gelfand, Alexei Shirov and Teimour Radjabov are King's Indian adherents

On this DVD, Viktor Bologan (Elo 2690) presents a complete King's Indian repertoire for Black. In 21 chapters the Grandmaster deals with all possible White responses, showing the subtleties in main and side variations. The DVD is suitable for both newcomers and experienced King's Indian players.

Bologan's explanations are based on his own experience and analysis. Yet the top player knows only too well to whom he owes his successes: Grandmaster Zigurds Lanka, who once taught young Viktor the King's Indian and thus helped him to become a Grandmaster - since according to Bologan, the necessary norms were achieved... of course with the King's Indian!

Victor Bologan is a pupil of the famed Moldovan trainer Vecheslav Chebanenko. For many years Bologan has been the number 1 in Moldova and has represented his country in eight chess Olympiads. His greatest successes were in 2003, when he first of all won the Aeroflot Open and then the famous Dortmund Tournament, ahead of Kramnik and Anand. The Moldovan has extensive experience as a trainer and has also published an acclaimed book on the King's Indian
