So, for about a month now I have - after an absence of more than two years - an online connection again - mainly owed to my employer, who pressed me, as the last dinosaur, into the home-office. |

Opening Explorer "From the position in the diagram, Wojo was able to achieve a stunning winning
percentage of 80.2% over the course of 91 sample games found in the ChessBase
database. This percentage would be even higher if we added in those games not
catalogued in the databases (generally against weaker opponents)... Thus, ... the Fianchetto King's Indian really
represents where the "big money" was. Wojo's brutal efficiency in defeating the
King's Indian Defense game after game made the difference when it came to
turning out the kinds of scores needed to win weekend Swisses. The Fianchetto
King's Indian was a staple of the Wojo repertoire and was fundamental to his
success. For this reason, we have devoted an entire volume to scrutinizing Wojo's
ideas in the Fianchetto King's Indian."
