Beat the KID - three lines against the King's Indian - 2nd hand
Markos Jan
Description
The King`s Indian Defence is one of Black`s most ambitious and popular replies to 1.d4 so White needs to be well prepared. Jan Markos shows the way with three separate repertoires for White.
The Bayonet Attack : 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Be2 e5 7.0-0 Nc6 8.d5 Ne7 9.b4 This line is favoured by the elite and is regarded as the critical test of the King`s Indian.
Korchnoi has added more to the biggest main line in the King`s Indian than any other player, thus the line should be named after him: 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Be2 e5 7.0-0 Nc6 8.d5 Ne7 9.Ne1 This line leads to wild complications and mutual attacks where the betterprepared player has a huge advantage.
Krasenkow has an overwhelming score with his pet line: 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 0-0 6.h3 This is a strategic line where understanding is needed rather than memorization.
