Quote:I suppose the Leningrad is more interesting against the London and Colle setup than the KID.
Obviously, but I don't know if it's really better.
Quote:You should pay a little attention to White's early h2-h4-h5, just in case the quiet quiet queen's pawn player goes suddenly berserk.
There are two ideas that I have usually found. An early h-pawn push which is semi-solved by ...h6, and Bc4 and Qb3 patrolling the a2-b8 diagonal. I have seen some games played by De la Villa where black castled long in the second option.
Quote:I assume you play the Pirc via 1.e4 g6 2.d4 Bg7 ?
No. This is not my usual move order. I usually try 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6, but I don't fear any KID transposition nor a Austrian Attack (then 4...Nf6 and 5...0-0) , and if white play's 4.Be3 or Bg5 then 4...a6!? which seems even better than normal Pirc against this lines.
Quote:Maybe off-topic, but I think 1. d4 g6 2. Nf3 Bg7 3. Bf4 d6 4. e3 is extra-innocuous (compared to the usual London vs. KID move order) due to 4...Nd7, aiming to immediately enforce ...e5 (with possibilities such as Ne7-f5 if the bishop goes to g3 and/or Qe7 in one move rather than Qe8-e7 as would be needed in the usual scenario).
Not really off-topic because what I'm looking for is way to play against this systems with confidence but trying to have some fun. I try to build my own repertoire based on some idiosyncratic ideas which probably won't be fully trusty but what really matters is that they will be mine!
