Hi Michael Hacket (I remembered the name!)

"Any body reccomend any good aggressive gambits or openings
white can play if they suspect a kings indian defence ? "

...aggressive gambits...
suspect a King's Indian....?

What about the Grunfeld and the Budapest and the.....Alekhine.
(The Alekhine is King Pawn opening........The Duck) 🙂

The Omega Gambit

1.d4 Nf6 2.e4!? or 1.e4 Nf6 d4!?


Don't believe me?
How about Nakamura writing in Chessville.

After 1.d4 Nf6 2.e4 Nxe4 3.Nc3 Nxc3 4.bxc3

"Black has exchanged his King Knight for White’s Queen Knight. (correct!)
The tempo count remains the same but Black has weakened his king side. (Eh?)
He has one less piece guarding the king. (we have one less piece to attack it with.)

White has the two Bishops, (so has Black).
a half open b-file and a half open e-file to work with. (agree)

White’s king side attack if very dangerous and Black has to play a very precise defense to survive."
(agree if the attack get going.)

Thank You Mr. Nakamura

This opening is a White tap in.
It has largley been ignored because they want you to spend your money on
books on the KID, The Grunfeld, The Budapest and The Alekhine.
(change the record GP...get on with it....The Duck)

I like the open lines white has but a little bit of common sense from black and whites just down a pawn. With something like the Kings gambit at least the position is complex, giving up a central pawn seems a bit hopeful to me. Playable in blitz though. I play 1.Nf3 all the time and it's amazing how often people play 1..e5 in bullet games, losing a pawn on the first move trying to move quickly. You could say this is the same thing with colours reversed. 😛

Perhaps they use some game examples? We don't need the analysis, just post a game with something interesting. 🙂

I should hope so. I'd feel cheated if I paid $$ for a chess book with less than 10000 characters.

This is from chapter 11 of the book. It's an idea from the black side, but as a long-time KID player I really liked the fresh, eye-opening perspective of the idea and game, and thought it worth sharing.

Palliser dubbed it the "Karklins-Ilincic Variation", as it was first championed by FM Andrew Karklins and then picked up by GM Zlatko Ilincic.

Generally, the idea behind 7. ... Nh5 is to prepare both ...f5 and ...Nf4. Both are common themes in the KID, but it is unusual to play the knight out so early.

In the game below, white immediately deals with the threat of ...Nf4, and the game revolves around the implications of that decision.

Hi Marin.

"I like the open lines white has but a little bit of common sense...."

Stop there. This is chess players we are talking about.
Common sense does not come into it.
