I just imported the PGN at post 47 into chess opening wizard and am impressed all the way around! Thanks to all who contributed.

I glance at the KID, from the Black perspective, from time to time. I look at it less and less often.

I will probably continue to start with the fianchetto line, the hardest to crack in my opinion. Should I find an answer I really like, I may return to King's Indian Warfare (credit to Ilya Smirin).

Any comments on Lemos' coverage of 9.Be3?

Yes, 8.d5 is the right way to go, imho..
And I don't understand why after 8.dxc5 dxc5 9.Be3 I have to play 9....Ng4 when 9...Qa5 is leading to equality.
I play this as a second player since 1978 and my approach is refined through all these years. It's easy to remember OTB.. 9.Be3 or 9.Bf4 - no worry, 9...Qa5 is my answer! The ideas behind are easy to understand - attacking c4-pawn with Qa6, exchanging queens if Qd1-a4 followed by b7-b6..., Bd7 on Qb3..., Nf6-d7 in case of Nc3-d5...and Nc6-d4 if white stands still..  Wink
Never lost a game as a second player after 8.dxc5..
And never met this setup in my correspondence chess tries. Everyone goes for 8.d5, you know..


9...Ng4 is just what I went with to kill the thread due to how cut and dry it is. 9.Be3 Qa5 has some question marks remaining.

One shouldn't forget the possibility of 7.d5, which will transpose to the Fianchetto Modern Benoni after 7...e6 8.Nc3 exd5 9.cxd5.


As far as I know, 8. de (intending 8...Bxe6 9. Ng5) has long been considered good for White -- better than the version with Nc3 in lieu of 0-0 (it involves the availability of Na3 versus Black's exchange sac).

I don't mind a +0.20 ending if white's going somewhere.

But he's not in this case.

Anyway, hopefully someone gets something out of this thread as black. I stand by 8.d5 as the better try for an edge, but that analysis I will not post regardless of the forum banter. Wink

I notice that the late Bob Wade gave 9...Ng4 as weak, citing Darga-Barendregt (and mentioning 10. Qxd8 as "!?").  Looks none too plausible, I'd say.

11...f5 just looks too cooperative. 11...Bxb2 and... how's white justifying the pawn sacrifice? 12. Rb1 Bg7 just looks fine for black. Maybe you could argue some kind of compensation, but no advantage at all that I can see.

You are right. And while 11.Na4 offers more practical chances, it seems that Black is alive. Rybka's +0.20 doesn't mean much in an ending.

I'd admit defeat if someone can just come up with a small pull for white that could reasonably turn into something. As of now...I don't see it. I feel like forcing an advantage for white here is like finding one in the Exchange French. Cheesy

True, a repertoire book for White recommending the Exchange French would be a surprise. Nevertheless 11.Ne4 might give White something. White's king, at least, is very safe at g1, while the same cannot be said about Black's. Not the worst case if an author wants to make 1.Nf3 attractive.

1. d4 Nf6 2. Nf3 g6 3. c4 c5 4. g3 Bg7 5. Bg2 O-O 6. O-O d6 7. Nc3 Nc6 

Who knows a good source to this line? Actually I don´t wanna play 8.d5, because I don´t play against the KID this way. What about 8.dc5 dc5 9.Be3 ? It seems Avrukh doesn´t cover this line in his Vol. 2.


Since things have calmed down I'll attempt to answer the original question:

1) Avrukh would have white play d4-d5 as soon as ...c7-c5 hit the board, which is why he doesn't cover it.
2) If white is careful with his move order - delaying Nc3 and playing d2-d4 as soon as black plays ...c7-c5 or ...d7-d6

Then the line 7 dxc5 dxc5 8 Ne5!? can be played.  This is analysed in Wojo's Weapons vol 2.  White has a tremendous score in practice (77% on my database of TWIC games) even if black can equalise.  I haven't looked at this in depth though, so can't offer much more than this.  Smiley

We can move on to 9.Bf4 if we all have an agreement that 9.Be3 Ng4 is nothing for white.

For what it's worth, Vass' analysis looks like nothing for white, and even 9.Bf4 Nd4 (notice the similarity to 9.Be3 Ng4 10.Bf4 Nd4 that TN proposed) is depressing for white if he wants to win.

I'd admit defeat if someone can just come up with a small pull for white that could reasonably turn into something. As of now...I don't see it. I feel like forcing an advantage for white here is like finding one in the Exchange French. Cheesy
