๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ ๐๐ฒ: Hans Kmoch ๐๐จ๐ฏ๐๐ฌ: 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 The King's Indian Defence is both a strategic and dynamic chess opening. Named after its Indian origin and popularised by chess players in the mid-20th century, it reflects a hypermodern approach where Black allows White to occupy the center with pawns, intending to later challenge and undermine it. Throughout history, the King's Indian has been employed by many top-level players. Notable exponents of the opening include Garry Kasparov, who used it successfully in his World Championship matches, as well as former World Chess Champions Bobby Fischer and Viswanathan Anand. Other strong players like Mikhail Tal, Veselin Topalov, and Hikaru Nakamura have also favoured the King's Indian. Overall, the King's Indian remains a respected and formidable weapon, providing an avenue for creative and tactical play. Its rich history and continued popularity among top-level players attest to its enduring appeal on the chessboard. ๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐ญ๐๐ญ๐ฌ: โฎ For: Black Pieces โฎ Language: English โฎ Published: 2023 ๐๐๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ง๐๐๐ ๐ ๐จ๐ซ: โค Intermediate: โข 1200 - 1600 โค Advanced: โข 1600 - 2000 โค Expert: โข 2000 - 2200 โค Master: โข 2200+ ๐๐ก๐๐ญ'๐ฌ ๐๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐๐: โ Opening Theory โ Author Recommendations โ Interactive Test โ Model Games ๐๐ญ๐ก๐๐ซ ๐๐๐ง๐๐๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ: โ Updates โ PGN Download โ Progress Tracker โ Lifetime Access ๐๐๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐จ๐ฏ ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐: ยฃ20 off! โ Najdorf โ Dragon โ King's-Indian โ Grรผnfeld ๐ ๐ข๐ฌ๐๐ก๐๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐: โ Najdorf โ King's-Indian ๐๐จ๐ง๐๐ฌ ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐: โ Sicilian Dragon โ King's-Indian
