[@zackdavis7086]

This was an excellent video. It presents itself as a trap video, and at its core it is, but it also provides useful, and thematic, examples of good opening play leading up to those traps.

[@ChessGeek1]

Indeed! In fact, more important than the individual positions and lines are the thematic ideas that you can use!

[@itzsleazy6903]

Just wanted to let you know, this vid game me the confidence to actually try playing rated chess. I only really played puzzles because of learning lots of openings just to get started seemed intimidating and gave up. Now, after a few losses, and random resignations, I finally got my first checkmate! It was very useful that you went into the "ideas", future plans and outlined how the pawn structures matter. Anyways, hope you have a good xmas/holidays

[@ChessGeek1]

This is an incredible comment! I am truly so happy I could help you start playing. Have a great holiday as well :)

[@deepskywest3633]

Outstanding stuff! Complimentary to the Pirc for sure. Easy to confuse the lines between the two at first ;-). Also agree with @Zack Davis…maybe underselling it as a trap video,

[@ChessGeek1]

I really appreciate it:) Thank you for the kind words

New to chess learned the kings Indian. ATM it's my most go-to move with black. But my midgame is still quite off so Ty this may help a little 😁

Great video, I've recently started playing chess and I'm learning the KID, this video was incredibly helpful!

[@ChessGeek1]

Glad to hear it

[@PV1d5]

I’m finding your KID videos really useful, so thanks for these. I only wish I had found this one 2 days ago, then I wouldn’t have lost to number 6!

[@ChessGeek1]

ohhhh :( hey, at least you won't lose to it next time

[@giacalonebuilding4443]

I am die hard kings Indian player I love it so much. Idea 7 is amazing I can’t wait to use that one thank u much! Btw I just learned how to play June 23 of this year am up to 1050 so far pretty much entirely because of KZbinrs like yourself, very glad to find this channel I was running out of Alex Banzea videos and courses lol.

[@ChessGeek1]

Welcome to chess and this channel :) Great progress so far -- keep going!

[@richardkalmwater5996]

5:35 Why does the King have to move? It seems the White Queen can take the Bishop and threaten the D6 pawn. White's G6 bishop seems dead either way.

[@ImTavish]

you force check mate, taking the bishop then with your queen, then moving your bishop to the light H3, pawn can't take because the queen pins it

[@efthimiossakarellos7150]

Taking d6 is a bad idea for white since the white queen won't be able to get to the f2 square to defend against mate

[@dalkap]

Great vid, keep it up!

[@ChessGeek1]

Thank you

[@חרחאלאל]

I only played KID all my life after I learnt it and before it was the Spanish opening... which I have found kinda simple But with a prolonged use of KID, I was faced with lots of traps and moves that simply broke my formation, but this video ....I think it will help me a great deal

[@ChessGeek1]

Fantastic to hear! Good luck playing the KID!!

[@gordyrroy]

woah I learned a lot :x I only base the choice of my openings and defenses on the names and if they sound cool >_< but the thing with the castling Queen-Rook battery was a pretty smart thing I wouldn't hat thought about! King's Indian Defense sounds cool so I thought I should make it my go-to defense! :y I'm rather new to playing chess, but I think that there is a point of skill that when you reach it makes the game so much more interesting than if you'd only stay on the basics.

[@scopesieboy]

[@progtopaajbr2961]

Tnx it assumes some suboptimal white moves eg they will 000 always first, with black bushop out white is not short casteling usually etc but nice one 👍🏻

[@Balance_Of_Life12]

Thanks, I'm learning King's Indian defence, it's very versatile

[@MrKillshoww]

Every trap is good except i was skeptical about #5

[@sankalppathak1779]

In the 5th trap after ( knight )fxe4 if the white simply takes the knight with its( pawn) fxe4 then black is loosing very badly 😂 if we continue like u said(black) knight takes e4 then( white) knight takes e4 , then bishop takes d4 #check and queen takes d4 Now u can't take White's bishop on g5 with your queen because then the knight takes queen .. Rest all ideas were fine to play but this one was very risky

[@ChessGeek1]

Yes, so for this one you would have to switch the order. If fxe4, then you can immediately go for the Bxd4 idea, and after Qxd4 then Qxg5, and you are better. Hopefully this makes sense!

How to get this chess board in online?

[@ChessGeek1]

This board is from Chessbase

[@sylvesterchag684]

Is it only me but trying to understand all there is in this video, even one trap, is really hard. When playing it's not as obvious as we see here. Being a 1100 rated blitz player I guess I need to understand more, like for instance knowing the cases, A6, B7 so on. To me the video goes so fast. Anyway if I get one of the traps somehow I'll be really really happy 🙂

[@ChessGeek1]

Perhaps you need to slow down the video or watch it again. Or maybe it is just a little above your rating

[@CHESSManiacc]

In trap no 3 what if N takes e5 instead of pawn takes e5

[@ChessGeek1]

Great Question. Nxe5 is possible, but after c5 black destabalizes the center for white. Black has a slight advantage and some initiative after something like: Nxe5 c5 d5 Nxe4 Nxe4 Bxe5.

[@ploopybear]

ayy great thank you

[@gauravpednekar3288]

What platform/site are you using in this video for chess?

[@ChessGeek1]

I am using a program called ChessBase

[@nickandrews2255]

Can somebody tell me what to do if they do pawn to e5 attacking the knight? It crushes my set up I feel Cheers

[@gangstamuffin6867]

There's something called the pric defence. Just moving the queen's pawn to d6. So if they go pawn e5 you can go take that pawn .

[@letscrackit2008]

At 2:50 what if he Play Ne5.?

[@nod_jawk]

Now how to play AGAINST the King's Indian Defense ;)

[@giacalonebuilding4443]

Deny the e and c 4 breaks and try to trade the dark bishops. Kings Indian is my favorite opening so once you play it as black a good bit it will become much easier to play against it since you know everything they want to do

[@nod_jawk]

@@giacalonebuilding4443 thank you :)

[@ibrahimchaiben8127]

how is the 2nd one a trap? more like a failure for black 🤨

[@Kuya_Yan_1234]

*Gasp!!* Is it heaven!? Could it be!!!

[@ChessGeek1]

Hahaha

[@thariquemccoy6584]

Bruh it’s so easy to understand! I swear. Also you give actual things that happen in games. Well my games at least people play exactly how you just explained. My opinion you did better explaining middle game ideas than hikaru for beginners that is and just this portion. Not saying hikaru isn’t a great teacher but this is just golden needs more views.

[@juanisamittpualuan8915]

In trap number 5, couldn't they just take with pawn after knight e4?

[@ChessGeek1]

if pawn takes knight, then Bxd4 wins (similar to the line in the vid) as Qxd4 Qxg5! Great Question

what white player -- on rep 5 -- is going to take the bishop vs the queen. makes no sense.

[@giacalonebuilding4443]

Was check can’t take the queen

[@adilmirza7324]

The worst video a kings indian player can watch. Nobody plays kings indian in this way. Nobody focuses on developing their light square bishop. Nobody delays their e5 break. Nobody plays Na6 without a5 first. This guy got all of the kings indian concepts wrong
