Yesterday in banter blitz, Giri played the KID, and faced the Karpov/Makagonov h3 + Be3.  During the first ten or so moves he made a number of remarks such as, "You see how much knowledge I have in th...

It's now available as a PGN. The preview only gives a hint as to the line against the fianchetto, which is ...Nc6 intending ...e5.
Does anyone know what else is recommended?

Hey,
