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 favourite 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 models games how to attack 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 as 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 centre to the middlegame.

The King s Indian Attack is full of positional and tactical ideas and often 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.
