Among the other possibilities, I'll mention a game which stuck in my memory:  Kamsky-Benjamin, on the way to the former winning the US championship in 1991.  When they played in the same event 22 years later, Kamsky varied, and this time managed to draw  Smiley  By the way, that kind of thing was last addressed in Chess Publishing last December.

Thank you for your reply, it seems pretty good I will give it a try, even though I allways try to play e5 at some point in KID, but I will do exception next time.



There's another idea. You play Nf6, g6, Bg7, O-O, d6. Then you play a provocative .. Nc6. If they've played Nbd2, they cannot respond with d5.

A reversed Reti can work reasonably enough. In no particular order you play Nf6, g6, Bg7, O-O, d6, c5, b6, Bb7, Nbd7. You then need to find squares for the two Rooks and the Queen. You could play .. Qc7, Rc8 and then Qb8 possibly with Qa8 to follow. The Rook on f8 can go to e8.

What is the best response for a KID player to London system? I recently played a game and lost it, and now I would like to find a good way of playing against it...
