The Modernized King's Indian - Averbakh Variation by Jan Boekelman

The Averbakh is a solid and respectable variation against the KID. It bears the name of the well-known Soviet grandmaster, theorist, and endgame specialist Averbakh (photo). Yuri  Lvovich Averbakh is the oldest living grandmaster who recently celebrated his 99th birthday in Moscow on 8 February. In the early 1950s, Averbakh was one of the first grandmasters to play the variation more than once. He contributed greatly to the development of its theory. Averbakh used the variation several years, then changed course to other variations to fight the KID. Occasionally, he returned to his old love that by then bore his name
Jan Boekelman is a Dutch chess enthusiast and theorist.

He now focuses mainly on opening analyses.
