Winning with the King’s Indian Attack (Download)
by Victor Bologan
I have always loved the King’s Indian. My trainers, Ion Solonar and Vyacheslav Chebanenco, taught me to play it with Black, and also showed me how play the King’s Indian set-up with an extra tempo. An important extra tempo: Black plays the King’s Indian Defense, White plays the King’s Indian Attack!
This opening was also a favorite of chess legend and 11th World Champion Bobby Fischer, who is known for his aggressive play and his wish to win every game. With the King’s Indian Attack he scored 8.5 out of 9, creating a number of fine model KIA games on the way.
The King’s Indian Attack is mainly reached via the French Defense (1.e4 e6 2.d3) and the Sicilian with 2…e6, but it can also arise from the Reti Opening, when Black plays …e6 and …d5 to reach structures from the Queen’s Gambit Declined.
30 years ago the King’s Indian Attack was considered an interesting and original way to avoid theoretical battles. But today’s theory sees the King’s Indian Attack in line with the modern approach to postpone the fight for the center into the middlegame. The King’s Indian Attack is full of positional and tactical ideas and often is an unpleasant surprise for the opponent.
The opening is easy to prepare but it’s important to remember that the King’s Indian Attack is more about ideas and plans and less about forced and complicated lines. Since my junior days it has been a reliable weapon and it still serves me well today.
