I like the blog. I prefer the Four Pawns Attack for White though. It's really fun, and if your opponent doesn't really know what they're doing, you can beat em really easy. In my blog, there is a game of me play the Four Pawns Attack and murdering Black. Please check it out and leave a comment =D
Why does Korchnoi hate the king's indian so much? I suspect it's because he likes playing white with it so much and since he's korchnoi he's usually going to win, which makes him give it a bad reputation.
this is my favorite opening I play for black
I AM NEW THIS IS A NICE BLOG
I am used 2 Ne1 instead of Nd2.
Happy face :D
Right, that's the conclusion in his previous book as well. But if you check out games explorer, there is a new idea in the ...Nd7 line with which black has been doing well. I can't look at it right now, but it involves black playing ...dxc5 at a point where Nunn does not even consider this move.
What I really like about Nunn is that in his heart he is a black player in the KID, but he really puts a lot of effort into writing an unbiased book, with insightful commentary, the type which you can only get from a book.
He prefers 9...a5 with the idea of Nd7, holding up white's Q-side attack a bit and preparing the attack on the K-side.
His feeling with both 9..Nd7 or 9...Ne8 is that white is able to win the race on the Q-side.
I only have his older book "The Classical King's Indian". I very much enjoy his writing.
After 9: Nd2, does he actually prefer Ne8 over a5? Or does he simply prefer Ne8 over Nd7 because Nd7 doesn't accomplish its main aim.
I have a copy of Nunn's 'The New Classical King's Indian', here's some of his ideas:
After 9...Nd7 10.b4 f5, he considers the main line to be 11.f3, mentioning that 11.a4 is too commital.
He prefers 9...Ne8 but only in that it gives black an option to leave it at e8 whereas on d7, it doesn't prevent white from playing c5.
Are there some good lines for black that leave the knight at d7 after 11.f3?
No, take a look at games explorer, there is a new idea where black plays dxc5 in the line you posted where white plays a4.
This is a blog to capture the ideas for both sides in this highly complex variation.
