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. ๐‚๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ฌ๐ž ๐’๐ญ๐š๐ญ๐ฌ: โฎž For: Black Pieces โฎž Language: English โฎž Published: 2023 ๐‘๐ž๐œ๐จ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐ž๐ง๐๐ž๐ ๐…๐จ๐ซ: โžค Intermediate: โžข 1200 - 1600 โžค Advanced: โžข 1600 - 2000 โžค Expert: โžข 2000 - 2200 โžค Master: โžข 2200+ ๐–๐ก๐š๐ญ'๐ฌ ๐ˆ๐ง๐œ๐ฅ๐ฎ๐๐ž๐: โ™š Opening Theory โ™š Author Recommendations โ™š Interactive Test โ™š Model Games ๐Ž๐ญ๐ก๐ž๐ซ ๐๐ž๐ง๐ž๐Ÿ๐ข๐ญ๐ฌ: โ™› Updates โ™› PGN Download โ™› Progress Tracker โ™› Lifetime Access ๐Š๐š๐ฌ๐ฉ๐š๐ซ๐จ๐ฏ ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ž: ยฃ20 off! โ˜… Najdorf โ˜… Dragon โ˜… King's-Indian โ˜… Grรผnfeld ๐…๐ข๐ฌ๐œ๐ก๐ž๐ซ ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ž: โ˜… Najdorf โ˜… King's-Indian ๐‰๐จ๐ง๐ž๐ฌ ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐๐ฅ๐ž: โ˜… Sicilian Dragon โ˜… King's-Indian
