Im finally watching this video 4 years later. I've always played h3, Bg5 against the KI. Many times the bishop ends up on e3 after h6 anyway. Do you think the immediate Be3 is stronger?
Great video. What would you say is the big difference between 6.Be3 and 5.Bg5? The latter was also quite popular for a while (and Yermo did a video series on it for ICC).
Thanks! The main difference is that the bishop can get kicked with h6, which is sometimes a plus for Black, but not in every line. The bishop on g5 tends to make things more difficult for Black on the kingside, but the bishop on e3 supports White's queenside play, so there can be a few pros and cons in each position.
@@ChessDojo As a person with both experience in 6. Be3 and 6. Bg5 I find 6...c5 attemps by black a lot more annoying when playing Bg5 considering you're forced into an odd benoni where if blacks knows his theory he can get his queenside push going. Meanwhile with 6. Be3 c5 7. Nf3 (pointed out in video) you get a rather comfortable maroczy. After 7...Nc6 you usually end up in the mainline of the trendy h3 maroczy (Jan Gustafsson says this practically refutes the maroczy, the Bg4! trap) and with 7... b6 you have a couple of options, 8. Bd3 (Karpovs choice), 8. g3 or even 8. g4, but I find 8. Qd2 to be the best with the dragon-like plan of f3 > 0-0-0 > Bh6 which is pretty hard to meet as black. It's a decent choice for sure ;)
I won my last round game because of you...it was such a breeze. I was up like an hour on the clock. He was a KID player and had never faced this. I crushed him
It is certainly possible to play d5 against c5 as well, leading to a Benoni where White has committed the bishop to e3. Most top players seem to prefer to play a Maroczy structure against the c5 lines, probably influenced by the engine :)
You might want to look at san shanklands chessable course or to his short n sweet course i watched short n sweet and after analyzing some lines he wasnt able to give at his free course and reading richter rauzer reborn.İ can confidently say i was better in any rapid match i played (i am 2350 rapid lichess
Very nice, I’d love to see more Kings Indian videos👍🏻
Love the idea, Kostya! Thanks!
This video is the definition of quality content
Thanks! 😊
Gj, quality content! Tnx allot man.
this is amazing thank you
Fascinating
Just know that your work is appreciated.
Just used this to beat my opponent. This was very helpful. Thanks
For me it isn't that clear how white launches his kingside attack against an early h7-h5 and before Ne2-g3.

Yes!

Nice video, I like the KID as well
this is great
Where can I find information about this system?
By watching the video!
@@ChessDojo LOL
who did actually win the last game?
Finished in a draw
I won my last round game because of you...it was such a breeze. I was up like an hour on the clock. He was a KID player and had never faced this. I crushed him
Would love to see the game! Can you post it in the Discord?
@@ChessDojo sure I’ll do it later
Why does White close the center with 7.d5 after 6...e5, but does not play 6.d5 after 6...c5?

This system used to terrify me as Black but I have a much better handle on it now.
Please do something in the Classical Sicilian
I play it as Black
By the way enjoy your videos!!
