Chess Openings: Learn to Play the King's Indian Attack!
The King's Indian Attack is one of the strongest chess openings for white, and there is nothing black can do to stop it! By playing the King's Indian Attack, we avoid a ton of the chess opening theory of both e4 and d4. Black may have prepared chess openings such as the Sicilian Defense, Queen's Indian Defense, French Defense, Benoni Defense, or Pirc Defense. However, with the King's Indian Attack, we don't need to deal with any of these dangerous chess openings for black. Instead, we simply develop our pieces while looking to fianchetto our bishop on g2. We look to castle kingside, and then launch an attack in either the center of the board or against the opponents king. The King's Indian Attack is just like the King's Indian Defense against d4 except for the fact that we get an extra tempo. The King's Indian is a great chess opening option for the beginner chess player who wants to learn a good chess opening system to bring them to the next level. The King's Indian Attack shows how to play good chess as it is a top tier chess opening for white. The King's Indian is so strong because of the chess moves, chess ideas, chess principles, chess theory, chess tricks, chess traps, and chess strategy that it utilizes. If you are looking to improve at chess fast, the King's Indian Attack might just be for you. We hope that this video serves as a chess opening guide for the King's Indian Attack and all of it's theory, strategy, and ideas. Similarly to the London System or Hippopotamus Defense, there's nothing the opponent can do to stop us from achieving our setup. The King's Indian has been played at all levels with great success, and still stands as a nightmare for the black side to deal with. Nobody gets excited playing against the King's Indian, as it so strong and holds against the toughest of preparation. If you want to learn how to play chess, win games fast, and improve at chess quickly, the King's Indian is a top tier choice. We hope you enjoy learning how to play the King's Indian Attack!

This was the opening that kept me from being slaughtered in the first half dozen moves. It was Build Your Castle, then Survey The Land. A very feudal mise en place.

@TheChessGiant 2 года назад

You know it Alan! I actually really like that description of the opening - we are just building a castle, minding our own business. After that, we can start to survey what on earth is going on with the rest of the board.

@j1tdr Год назад

That's a neat way to put it. I think I'm going to start looking at the KIA for when I play white

More good stuff. Wouldja believe I've been playing KIA for decades but never considered moving the Queen to e1 to avoid that blasted Bishop pin from g4? Instead I'd play c3 then move Her Majesty Q-side and often as not out of play. Qe1 also makes sense 'cuz it allows a faster f4 with the Rook behind it instead of on e1. Wish I'd been a more attentive student of this game but of course it takes lotsa time and real-life issues interfere. Anyway thanks for another great viddy. Cheers and good luck!

@prakasavigraha6104 2 года назад

We only need to adjust the move order but not the moves themselves. This is great. So much easier to remember. We need not fear the French, the Pirc, the Caro Kann, the Sicilian, nor the Alekhine. That is such a relief.

@TheChessGiant 2 года назад

Exactly right!

@TheChessGiant 2 года назад

@jonshive5482 Год назад

OK but if Black plays the Scandi with 1...d5? A real PITA. Which is why I always start with 1.Nf3. One less opening to worry about.

@ShadowCider 8 дней назад

@jonshive5482 If you just use the KIA as white, you can add the KIA and an anti scandinavian opening, as your only 2 white openings. Then the KID against everything as black or even the KID and Caro Kann. Just 2 for each, white and black isn't hard. Against the scandinavian I don't even watch theory, I just develop and thank them for the lead in development and always crush them. My best game against a scandinavian was forced checkmate on move 11

What I have learned so far is it's a d4 opening and I still have my hands full with e4 openings. But I need to know it as blackso I play it QGD style rather than Slav style. Yep, it's a long game, usually even until move 10. Then the tactics really begin. And it's pretty nuts for both sides.

I learned the KIA for playing with black... but never considered it for white. Interesting. Usually white I go with Ponziani which seems to cause people a fair amount of problems. But I may give this a go for white. Cheers!

@TheChessGiant 5 месяцев назад

Hey Alex! Ya it never hurts to give something new a try, and it sounds like you already have a good amount of experience in those KIA type positions. Although I will say I am big on the Ponziani and have had a ton of fun with it. But ya mixing things up sometimes is always fun and good for overall improvement.

@TheChessGiant Год назад

Great choice! I love how you get your setup and don't mind too much what the opening responds with (most of the time) in the first 6-7 moves.

@alamgirsani5531 3 года назад

Dayum! I always thought KID was more of a solid structure with hopes of making the enemy over extend and capitalize that but man have you changed my mind. I just have one question. Is the playing system same when I have the black piece or are they different?

@TheChessGiant 3 года назад

Hey Alamgir, thank you for the kind words! Yes, it is the same! Black is down a tempo with the King's Indian Defense compared to the King's Indian Attack, but that's really all that changes. A very aggressive chess opening for black to say the least! If you want, we made a video that covers a game between Boris Gelfand and Hikaru Nakamura. It shows just how dangerous this opening can be. Zero pressure to watch, but if you do, I'll leave the link right here. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-09kHVAS0JLQ.html

@walterbrownstone8017 Год назад

@@TheChessGiant I've looked at it and it's pretty insane! I've played it a few dozen times and it really can get very crazy and exciting by move 10! Sharp tactics. On both sides. Plus, I have watched plenty of your hippo videos and I can see the similarity between this and the hippo in that both sides don't try to launch an early attack... But it's a d4 opening and I'm pretty heavily invested in e4. But as always, when I learn a new opening, I learn it for both sides so I'm alot more prepared when I'm black. This might be a good stepping stone before trying the hippo all out. It may help with unraveling the mysteries of the hippo!
