Sadler in turn credits Gulko as an inspiration, but only one game from Gulko is in the book. GM Matthew Sadler contributes the foreword where he calls the Sämisch the cornerstone of his anti-King’s Indian repertoire. Two of Montany’s games are wins against the same opponent, one of which decided the Colorado State Championship, where his opponent prepared in advance with recommendations from Bologan. Montany considers the games of Sadler and Dreev as “the most instructive” and includes four games from each, while also including four from his own oeuvre. The author credits Joe Gallagher’s 1996 book, The Sämisch King’s Indian, as inspiration for taking up the opening, and he refers to it frequently during the text with regard to its influence on his repertoire. There is also a bibliography, an index of variations, and an index of complete games. Move Orders and Unusual Lines (4 pages).
