Longer Chess Games #61 The Kings Indian Attack

[@smar1k359]

The flow of this analysis was outstanding!

[@colleen9493]

That’s probably because it was against a lower rated player so it was easier for him to play.

Best chess video I have seen so far. Came to learn more about the KIA, but learned even more about ways to think about moves in general.

Great video, very instinctive..thanks GGM

[@jms4406]

This baby bird needed this. Never knew about the catholic family fork at least not the technical term. Thank you for bringing in the modern chess engineering terminology.

[@hellooohowareudoing]

Loving all these new videos lately :D

[@oscarstorm4694]

Im Danish, and a fan! keen to follow your kings indian attack series, one of my favorite openings - but not alot of great content about it. Great game and analysis.

[@jonshive5482]

Had Black moved ...Kd8 into Nc6# the Knights act like a pair of Bishops controlling opposite-colored squares. Neat.

[@magic_hotel]

I always wondered why no-one has ever done a BOOK OF SYSTEMS. KI Attack, Colle-Zukertort, Scandi with Qa5 ... there are several examples where the early moves and plans can be almost automatic. So a book (or course) that largely ignores any theory, but shows how these 'system moves' develop into typical games, could form a welcome repertoire for busy people. A discussion of the typical games would demonstrate the typical middlegame plans, while pointing out any traps to avoid.

[@threethrushes]

Why don`t you do it? As a London System player, I welcome more info on 1.d4 openings and middle-game plans.

[@magic_hotel]

@@threethrushes Haha ... bless you for thinking I would be capable. There were one or two such articles by IM Andrew Martin in Chess Magazine in the 1990s, and I always thought that they might be extracts from a forthcoming book, but sadly not. You never know though, Simon might have something like this in the pipeline.

[@artistformerlyknownasbob1824]

Update: I have been watching your channel. I am a novice (playing 8+ years, studying 1 year) around 1200 elo...I felt "stuck", started watching your stuff and today I won my first Chess Ultra 4-man (beat a 1600), beat couple peeps on chess.com and just had an overall fantastic chess day :) Ty for your tactical lessons and insights...You teach the why, not just the how.

[@ВиталяШерстнев]

What the hell, playing 8 years and still a bum 1200? Wow this is insane

[@cutiecat2754]

@@ВиталяШерстневwell everyone moves at their own speed some people take more time than others and some are less motivated or dont have the time to get better

[@TheVold99]

At 6:55 who else thought he was going to mouseslip with f5 losing his queen haahahahah

I'm from Denmark and a regular follower :D "Klovn" is out as both a series of 7 seasons and as 3-4 films!

[@adamsasso1]

Love this idea for a series! Looking forward to more 😁

[@GuitarraConAndres]

Dude you are my favorite chess streamer. I can’t stop laughing with your videos 🤣

[@jakeholden7795]

Love the work! Especially your chessable work, we truly appreciate what you do

[@adanc101]

Catholic family fork :-D now I learned something

[@broughtonmark8]

Thank you Simon! You've made my day

[@sooooooooDark]

27:00 😂 just ginger things

[@dayv4630]

I think they call that - the knights are "communicating" -- love the videos Simon. Hoping I get to play you some day.

[@HighlyCruciferous]

The term is "superfluous knights". I'm not sure who coined it. May have been John Watson.

[@FredPlanatia]

I like the term 'codependent' knights which describes their relationship, but 'superfluous' is also good. It captures another problem with their positioning.

[@trentonlafave2766]

Loved this very nice

[@apezza4269]

Simply the best streamer in my opinion :)

[@SeventyxSeven]

Brilliant, will be practicing this. Entertaining as always.

[@GigasGirus]

15:25 why was Nef3 not considered? It attacks the queen, defend the rook and guard the H2 square.

[@nofanfelani6924]

The knight will obstruct the rook on the F file. But not really sure, maybe it's still good for white.

[@Aljehans]

I'm danish - and I LOVE Clown! 😀 But I am a much much bigger fan of Bottom (Rik Mayall & Adrian Edmonson)

[@chessStreak]

Amazing go siomn❤️

Did you see the klovn movies yet?

[@woodyboy1029]

Where’s the cowboy hat?

[@guillermoblanco8056]

Hi Simon! Great content as always! You're the man! What about you playing only systems in the longer games? I would love to see you playing 1.b3. Fischer played it 5 times and won all the games, so perhaps you could show us that system too.

[@gm2407]

I prefer the mitchel and webb sketch shows over Peep Show. They are brilliant at sketch shows.

[@gm2407]

@lloyd99984 Does that mean those sketch shows, they "are the baddies?"

[@axatix]

old video but still very actual. I really like your style of explanation. That is the reason why I have killer Dutch book and training and Iron English 😊 book and training. you are covering actually all my favourite openings. Going to check what you have for KIA 🙂. found it on gingergm page. great source from where I have Leningrad Dutch :) great work as always. I saw you recently as commentator for tournament ,where was Magnus. Good job there. correction, that was only chapter in killer french. it is somewhere else? more about Kia?

[@JacobScott0000]

Peep show is bloody good

[@theczechfamous]

At 8.00 isn't e5 better - winning a piece?

[@PhilNPrice]

I don't see the win of a piece. Black plays ...Bxg2+, white recaptures, and black either moves his f6 knight or takes on e5.

[@swolejszo]

IMO, the main problem with 15 minute online games is you can never be sure if someone is cheating on the other end. The 3 + 2 format does not eliminate that possibility, but it makes it a lot harder and most people at my level wouldn't bother. Great video, I really enjoyed this breakdown of how the King's Indian Attack works. The only time I attempted this system I was crushed, but I can see I did not have the correct foundation.
