The Gallagher starts with 8...exd4 9.Nxd4 Re8 10.h3 a6. It´s still played by strong players and is a good way to unbalance the game.

11.Be3-Rb8 12.b3!-c5 13.Nde2-b5 14.Qxd6-b4 15.Na4-Nxe4 16.Bxe4-Bxa1 17.Rxa1-Rxe4 18.Nxc5-Re8 19.Rd1-Qe7 20.Qxe7-Rxe7 21.Nf4-Nxc5 22.Bxc5-Rd7 23.Nd5-Kg7 24.Bd4+-f6 25.Bxf6-Kf7 26.Be5 White has still fine attacking chances due to his domination in the centre and on the dark squares.(+=)

Perhaps 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nf3 Bg7 4.g3 c5 5.Bg2 Qa5+!? is an idea, see the last update. It has been played by GM Bologan. Of course there still is 5.d5 and Black has to decide what kind of Benoni he/she wants to play.


I recall recommending this in another thread (in General Chess), and after 5.d5 I recommended 5...b5, as used successfully by Sutovsky in the Aeroflot Open. If I recall correctly, there was coverage of this line in Dangerous Weapons. 6...c6 7.Nc3 Qa5 isn't bad either although I haven't examined the theory of this line for some time.

you can also try c6, a6 preparing b5.  it was in Martin's 1st dvd on the KID.  not sure what he recommends in his 2nd edition.

This line is certainly interesting but is not a complete solution for Black because White can postpone c4 and castle first. I would suggest a line which can also be played vs. tricky moveorders and lines where White begins with 1.Nf3.

In this regard both setups with Nbd7 and Nc6 work well.

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.

If you are just starting out with the KID I recommend Gallaghers "Play the King´s Indian". His recommendations are sound as far as I can tell and he gives excellent explanations of the typical ideas.

Bologans DVD may also be a good start but his book is sometimes to confusing for a beginner.

Does the Gallagher provide full equality after 8...a6 9.h3 b5 10.dxe5 dxe5 11.Be3 ?


The Gallagher starts with 8...exd4 9.Nxd4 Re8 10.h3 a6. It´s still played by strong players and is a good way to unbalance the game. 8...a6 was Gallaghers recommendation in "Play the King´s Indian" to avoid some problems with "his" line.

Bologan makes a good case for 6...Nc6 both in his book and DVD.

I think both lines are well suited for the King´s Indian player. It´s just a matter of taste.

Pingudon, you didn´t write where your problems are. Which lines did you try until now?

I want to stay in the territory of the king's Indian! I do not want to jump to the Grunfeld when I see g3 (unless I have to of course).

How do you feel about jumping to the Modern Benoni as Kasparov did in that famous game versus Korchnoi?

Does the Gallagher provide full equality after 8...a6 9.h3 b5 10.dxe5 dxe5 11.Be3 ?

6...c5 invites a Benoni as White can play 7.d5 and 7.dxc5 looks quite dull. Almost half of the games ends in a draw.
As far as I know 6...Nc6 never has had a good reputation and perhaps that is unjustified: 7.0-0 (7.d5 Na5 and 8...c5 will become a Panno) e5 8.d5 Ne7 with the typical flank attacks. I have no idea what White's best is here.

I will recommend 6...c5 7.0-0 cd4 8.Nd4 Nc6 and 6...Nbd7 7.0-0 e5 8.e4 a6. The former is quite a good choice because accepting the pawn sacrifice gives Black full compensation, and declining gives Black a comfortable game, and the latter was Gallagher's main recommendation and is a bit less theoretical than 8...c6 but with an equally strong reputation.

Play the Panno or the Gallagher. Probably the Panno is more sound, at least according to Bologan. There is always that annoying plan against the Gallagher variation that I think no one has really figured out yet, I think maybe b3 + Rb1 at some point. I can never remember all of the different move orders in that line. Anyway, if you don't have Bologan's book, it's well worth the investment!
