editing/correcting:  Platonov-Shamkovich (those seem to be the right colors) involved delayed ...0-0; Gheorghiu-Watson involved instead holding back the d-pawn, which is apparently the line in the DW book.


The Byrne System (without ...0-0) was covered in Yearbook 92 by Grivas, who concluded that Black has good chances of equalising. While I admit that it's a very solid system, I still believe that White should retain the advantage with a timely c5 break, e.g. 5.f3 a6 6.Be3 c6 7.c5 Nbd7 8.cd6 ed6 9.Nf4.

Yes, but Spassky was better out of the opening.   Wink

   


We can argue: If even Fischer wasn't able to win with this variation, its rubbish!  Wink

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.f3 c5 instead of the usual 5. ...O-O.

the advantages (and disadvantages to this) is that white doesn't get the queenless, pawn up main line of the samisch. in addition black gets a relatively good benoni...in my opinion any non-Taimanov Benoni is a good position.  thoughts?


That's the way Fischer played against Spassky in the 2nd Game in 1992. He got a winning position but plundered in the endgame:

[Event "Match Spassky"]
[Site "Sveti Stefan/Belgrade"]
[Date "1992.09.03"]
[Round "2"]
[White "Spassky, Boris V"]
[Black "Fischer, Robert James"]
[Result "1/2-1/2"]
[ECO "E80"]
[WhiteElo "2560"]
[BlackElo "2785"]
[PlyCount "117"]
[EventDate "1992.09.02"]
[EventType "match"]
[EventRounds "30"]
[EventCountry "YUG"]


1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. f3 c5 6. dxc5 dxc5 7. Qxd8+ Kxd8 8.Be3 Nfd7 9. Nge2 b6 10. O-O-O Na6 11. g3 Nc7 12. f4 e6 13. Bh3 Ke7 14. Rhf1 h6 15. e5 Bb7 16. g4 Rad8 17. Ng3 f6 18.

I still think, if Black prefers the old-fashioned ...Nbd7 variations, that 1...Nf6 2...d6 3...Nbd7 is most precise. It also avoids the Four Pawns and anticipates the various Bg5 variations.
  

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

Before any effective systems for Black against the Saemisch were developed, in the 1950s the great Soviet and Argentinian KID players often used to try to reach the KID via move order tricks, such as starting with 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 d6, "threatening" an Old Indian and thus provoking 3 Nf3. If White called the bluff with 3 Nc3, then they would play 3...Nbd7 preparing ...e5 while keeping options open for the f8 bishop, or even invite the queenless middlegame with 3...e5, if they definitely did not want to face the Saemisch.

"Saemisch-fear" was probably also the root of the development of the move order 1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 c5 3 d5 e5 4 Nc3 d6 5 e4 g6 (or 5...Nbd7 keeping options open for a further move) - we have a thread on this "Argentinian" variation somewhere on this forum.

If you want to postpone castling against the Samisch, the best route is probably 5...Nc6!? as given in 'Dangerous Weapons: The King's Indian'. I don't own the book, but I assume the idea is to follow with a6, Rb8, then b5 and/or e5, without castling so that the king is not a target of White's archetypal kingside attack.
