Learn the King's Indian Setup | 10-Minute Chess Openings

My grandpa taught me chess, but was always intimidated to play, cause I felt like I was way too stupid. Just in these last 1-2 months or so I felt a pull towards chess, and found this channel. Turns out it's not stupidity - you just need to invest time, energy, like every hobby (for me it is). Today got my first ever win with a 400 robot by playing King's Indian - yeah I know, it's not much, but it's honest work. And certainly it was a huge dopamine hit for me. Thanks, enjoy your games everyone!

[@TactfulWaggle]

@@adamfor5048 you should try playing rated games, from my experience bots elos are highly inflated, but also at the 1400-1600 bot elos (which play like a 1000-1200 real player), they no longer make simple one move blunders, and those bots are extremely resilient, they will defend incredibly well and wear you down, but real players aren't that resilient and make some mistakes bots wouldn't make, it's really fun

@@K0bbii True but knowing some common lines and themes based on your opening is good

[@InWitheNew]

You might feel "messy" because of the closed nature of a lot of the positions and the weird development of your white bishop. I'm hyper aggro so I feel similarly but it does become aggressive, it just needs a little bit more patience than you (or I) might be used to. I find the more I play it, the more that awkward rotation works for me.

[@alcibiades4716]

A Croat guy called hanging pawns goes into better detail. There are some bad moves gotham chose for white while playing as black like the light bishop. I find it best to only choose to move a pawn on move 3, this allows castle on move 4 (exapmle 1.d4 Kf6 2. c4 h6 3. Kc3 Bg7 now decide if you should castle or go e6) then after ive pushed the pawn AND caslted because king saftey, i go a5 then Ka6 then Qe8 then push kingside pawns wherever possible. Then point of KI is usually to dimantle kings safter via an attack on his pawns protecting the king (usually the king is kingside castle)

This one also relevant for me. This was a system I tried learning and using many years ago.

[@stoutlager6325]

I started learning king's indian attack (white opening) recently, starting with e4, and quickly learned why starting with e4 is maybe not the best idea for beginner/intermediate. Why? You play e4 as first move you leave black the option to play d5 in response, which is now the scandinavian defense. Once that move is on the board you have to address it and you are now no longer playing the KIA line. So it seems if you want to start with e4 you really should also know the scandi. Additional complexity. Starting as advised in video here avoids that divergence from your plan and you can continue normally as your e4 has a defender.

is there a video that defines what mobilizing is? Or defending, or what the general strategies are for setting up your board and why you should do things you do?

[@241pints]

Coffee, 2 cups before 9am.

[@ABBASdotMP3]

Isn’t it always before 9am

[@willinnewhaven3285]

Usually two cups of coffee at breakfast. Sometimes one cup of Earl Grey tea instead. Sometimes a cup of EGt at eleven am or at three pm.

4:17 ooh, as a russian it's pain to hear it called like that

[@dragndorf9]

yeah he pronounces the much harder Pirc defense fine so its weird

[@loki00014]

Not only for Russians, I also find it very unnatural :) He is from Ukraine so he knows how to say it right, but most of the audience is English speaking so he sticks with the English pronunciation.

[@adamDoesMath]

might be sounding a bit ignorant here but I really like the english pronunciation of it

[@УходиОтсюда-с8и]

I dont know why Levy gets flak. After playing only beginner bots, I watched this video and then on went to win my first match against a real opponent today. Keep up the great work!!

[@jatin_jangra]

1 glass of milk

[@vegardt3433]

Coffee, 2-3 cups from morning until about 4 in the afternoon. Tea in the evening (green or white), about one liter.

This setup is great for black if youre an aggressive player and just wanna nuke your opponents on the king side
