    The King's Indian Defense is a fun and exciting option for black against d4. In the course, I cover all main variations including, the Classical (main line) King's Indian, the 4 Pawns Attack, the Samisch, the Averbakh, and the Fianchetto (3.g3) variations. I also go over the Pirc Defense, and give you a system to play against the London. It is a complete opening repertoire with black. I talk about the ideas and concepts of the King's Indian, and how it is a great opening for beginners, as well as masters. I give practical opening advice and tips, practice exercises, and live gameplay where I talk through my thought process as I play the King's Indian.

  • @spd-kv6sd
    @spd-kv6sd 2 роки тому +1

    This is brilliant! The e5 instead of the c5 actually has a lot more charm than I've given it credit for. I've always found this move easier to play against with white than c5. An interesting lesson all the way.
    Here is why I play c5:
    - We can transpose to the Maroczy Bind Sicilian, a position every chess player must know.
    - We can transpose to the Benoni, my usual way of playing against the fianchetto on g2 if white decides to play like that.
    - c5 kinda discourages white to castle queenside, because in such Benoni-like positions the black pawn majority is often tough to deal with.
    All in all, I find e5 more fun to play, but giving white more options. Still, if you're used to playing in one way and you feel like you're succeeding, why not keeping playing that way? Nevertheless, I will look into these ideas. I never knew of those possible knight sacrifices on e4.

    Here’s one thing I’ve noticed. Some players expect you to resign if you get down in material and get frustrated if you don’t. They lose focus and oftentimes you can catch up and even win. So I don’t resign unless my opponent has a big lead in both material and position. Just saying.

    You are giving good straight forward lessons on tactics and strategy. I have been using you lately to rebound. I learned chess around 2004. I went from 300 to 900 in about 6 months. Then to 1200 in another 6. And pretty much hit to roof there. At times my online ratings would be as high as 1400 but would fall back eventually. During the pandemic I got into bullet and that ruined me. Bullet ratings are lower, but it affected my regular games. Dropped to 985 but is now rebounding. Your video's are helping me relearn tactics that seem to have been lost and a few new things.

    That’s incredible growth. Most channels don’t reach 8 million views for years and years. There are many chess channels that started up to 53-5 years before yourself and have not even got a fraction of what you have achieved.
    I think it is your passion mixed in with very fundamental and effective instruction that wins people over. Also your personality is perfectly suited to this. You are not stuck up , arrogant or have any of those personality negatives that can hold back a channel.
    Just as importantly your content and it’s presentation are of the highest quality.
    I really believe you can become as popular as Levy if you play it right. I really believe you have to start doing some collabs with bigger channels. You help each other grow.
    Keep up the good work

  • @matthewcheung5136
    @matthewcheung5136 9 місяців тому

    So what's the plan to deter the queen pin on bishop g5? I think knight to E6 is supposed to let the queen move to E8 or D7? I'm refering to the Averbakh variation at 4:40

  • @spd-kv6sd
    @spd-kv6sd 2 роки тому

    That's interesting about the ideas with Na6. I know this move from the Benoni, which I also play a lot. I'm used to playing the King's Indian with c5 for the same reason. So far I think I also have established a way to approach the Averbach, but so far I haven't found a way to really put it into a real game. The first time I had prepared it against my CM teammate, he wondered why I played like that. After the game I looked at my preparations, written on a sheet and found out I had messed up the move order.
    Still I'll look at those ideas with Na6. I wonder if you would recommend it against the Sämisch as well, because I have seen it nowhere in the variations cards I have watched. I have done a good look at them, because I play the Sämisch when I'm with the white pieces. I dub the Averbakh better, but there is one problem with it - it doesn't avoid the Grünfeld and the Grünfeld is an opening I don't understand at all. The only KID variation that avoids the Grünfeld for white is the Sämisch. Or so I know at least.

  • @frenchdefence199
    @frenchdefence199 2 роки тому

    Kind of interested in what you have to say about the 6Bg5 Na6 7f4 line because I compared Kornev's lines to Bologan's lines and Bologan's lines didn't defend against all of Kornev's variations. Bolgan's book however was written in 2010 and Kornev's book was written in 2013. I forget which variation Bolagan recommended against the 7f4 variation. I think it was 7...c6 but I could be wrong. Kornev gives 8Qd2 Nc7 9Bf3 Ne6 10Bh4. As I said I can't go into detail because I don't have the Bologan book anymore but I'm interested in what you have to say about the 7f4 variation. Great videos by the way.

    • @sgtnubbings6501
      @sgtnubbings6501 2 роки тому +1

      You can perform the same manoeuvre of queen to h4 check followed by capturing the bishop. I don't know zilch about the theory but by looking at the position, it seems after trading queens white can take the d pawn with knight (which can be threatened back to e4 or trade for bishop) but as Nelson said at some point in the video that could prove useful to the rooks in the future, though we'll be unlikely to want to ever capture or move with our c pawn to allow the d file to open. That could of course be very very bad if white is able to support pushing that d pawn.

Apparently we need to read books as well, only I've never seen any. Since I will never achieve your level, I do not need to look for higher level players' videos and probably there aren't any.
