Bojkov Dejan
Description
Grandmaster Dejan Bojkov of Bulgaria loves the King's Indian Defense.
Having played it from his youth after reading Bronstein's great book on the Zurich 1953 International Tournament, his love for the Kings Indian Defense is on display throughout this volume, which is filled with creative ideas and strategies, tactics, and especially those shocking shots characteristic of the King's Indian.
