    The Bayonet Attack is the most straightforward way for white to try and punish the modern and provocative King’s Indian Defense.
    For an introduction to the KID, watch this video on the basics: • Introduction to the Ki...
    To start with, I’m going to be covering the Classical (also know as orthodox) King’s Indian. The Classical Variation begins after white plays Nf3 on move five, not going for more radical approaches such as f3. The Classical branches out into several key variations which are going to be covered in separate videos.
    To start with, I chose the most fun, the most aggressive and the most deadly variation of all - the Bayonet Attack! When I say deadly, I mean deadly for both sides. The opening requires extreme precision from both players, and one inaccuracy could mean a swift defeat.
    The main characteristic of the opening is action on both sides of the board. There is no opposite sides castling, which is often a feature of such games. Both sides castle short. Black attacks white’s kingside. Relentlessly, mercilessly, and without hesitation going for kingside expansion and checkmate, while white does the same on the queenside (without the checkmate part). The difference is, logically, that white’s attacks seldom turn out deadly. More often, they cause permanent weaknesses or a terminal material loss. Black’s kingside action, though, is often extremely dangerous for white and white can find him self dead lost in a matter of moves.
    That is what makes the Bayonet attack fun to play! The consequence of such imminent danger for both sides is the development of theory in the variation. It is one of the most theoretically heavily trodden variations, with all lines going at least 25 moves deep. And you have to be prepared and know them all!
    My advice for KID players would be to choose one move on move 9 (either Nh5, Ne8 or a5), and study it to perfection. Know every caveat in the position. Know what your enemy can do!

I am just learning the KID for Black vs 1.d4 (otherwise my main defence vs 1.d4 is the less common English defence..although now I am dabbling with other replies to 1.d4, as there are many transpositions possible). My son played the KID as a junior and became very good playing it, without knowing any of the opening theory or variations! I'd like to play like that, but can't seem to and so knowing some theory seems to help my play. I also know GM B Fischer played the KID as Black, so it has to be worth playing & as you say GM Hikaru Nakamura plays it too! Also, again, good to hear you very positive about your new situation and once more best wishes for your success!

      If it goes 7. dxe5 dxe5 8. Nxe5 Qxd1+ 9. Bxd1 then black can run a desperado with his knight after 9. ... Nxe4 10. Nxe4 Bxe4. And positionally black has a better bishop than white's knight and white hasn't castled.
      Alternatively, white can initiate the queen trade then play 9. Bg5 pinning the knight. Black can get control with 9. ... Be6 preventing 10. Nd5. Playing 10. Nxe5 activates black's fianchetto bishop, and white can start developing his N on the queen side to a6 surprisingly and heading to c5 or b4 with material threats.

    Some people really know how to play the kid as black. Others don't. The former you have to play your A game to win or draw whereas in the latter case you can win a lot of games. Black has to not only know the theory but play very aggressively, willing to sac material to get to the white king. If back opens up the queenside first he will generally win.He basically comes around the back and check mates blacks king who has lost a lot of pawns cover.
