MSK Chess's video: MSK Chess - Kings Indian defence bayonet attack

The King’s Indian Defence is one of Black’s most dynamic and aggressive responses to 1.d4. A favourite weapon of both Fischer and Kasparov, it remains a popular choice at all levels of play. Usually blacks set up is to keep the position closed and to try to mate white before he gets his queen-side attack going. The video features the famous Mar del plata bayonet attack which has been famously utilised by such chess legends as Vladimir Kramnik and Alexi Shirov. Whites idea is very dynamic, to induce black to give up the bishop pair and to seek an opening of the position by exchanging a rook for blacks very powerful dark squared bishop. the positions which arise are positionally rich, latent with tactics and results in a very interesting and dynamic game of chess. My hope is that you will learn something about how to play against the Kings Indian defence and more importantly to learn from my mistakes, always to try to understand the essence of the position, to accentuate your strengths and to diminish those of your opponents and seek forcing continuations - kind regards MSK Chess (Robbie) https://www.facebook.com/msk.chess http://www.chess.com/blog/robbie_1969... chess, echecs , ajedrez , xadrez , shahmati , szachy , sjakk , schach , schaken , satranj , шахматы , شطرنج
