Nov-13-15		Nightsurfer: This game here <Rene Gralla vs Simon Demel, Hamburg 2015> looks like a kind of blueprint for the scholar-like execution of the stratagem of the <King's Indian Attack> against the commander-in-chief of the opposing troops. And by the suicidal attack of White G4-Knight head on to the square f6, please see <30.Ngf6+! ...>, herewith the diagram as follows ... click for larger view ... , the Leader of the Southern Army was inspired by the game A Skripchenko vs I Krush, 2004 - since back then in New York 2004, our most charming Almira Skripchenko had demonstrated how the sacrifice of a Knight might shatter the castle of the enemy. The strike of <28.Nh6+! ...>, a great move by Almira Skripchenko, please see the diagram as follows ... click for larger view ..., should have been the winner for Almira Skripchenko (though Almira Skripchenko later missed several chances of the final knock-out) just the same way as <30.Ngf6+! ...> was the beginning of the end for Black in this game here <Rene Gralla vs Simon Demel, Hamburg 2015>. BTW, it is rather obvious in this game here <Rene Gralla vs Simon Demel, Hamburg 2015> that Black should better not accept the "sacrifice" of White Knight after <30.Ngf6+! ...>, please see once more the corresponding diagram as follows ... click for larger view ..., because <30. ... gxf6?> would be the <Highway to Hell> after <31.Qh6! ...>, please see the diagram as follows ... click for larger view ... ; all right, Black might try <31. ... Kh8>, but he would be pretty helpless against the follow-up <32.Nxf6 Qb7+ 33.Re4 ...>, therefore desperation would be the only option for Black after <33. ... Qxe4+> - there aint't no hope anyway! - <34.dxe4 Nd6 35.Qxh7#>.

Nov-16-15		Nightsurfer: The <King's Indian Attack> of this game here <Rene Gralla vs Simon Demel, Hamburg 2015> has been executed in a rather simplistic manner, of course. State of the art are the more sophisticated cases of Fischer vs Panno, 1970 and Fischer vs Myagmarsuren, 1967, no doubt about that!

Dec-06-16		parisattack: Nice game <Nightsurfer>! I play the French and against the KIA I like Ivanchuk's idea in this game: Bologan vs Ivanchuk, 2010

Jan-05-17		AylerKupp: <parisattack> I'm glad that you like it, but I wouldn't consider a game without ...d5 to be a French defense as the pawn structures become very different. When I was active in chess the French was my main weapon against 1.e4. But I don't remember what I played against the KIA, how many times I faced it, or what my results were.

Nov-05-17		wtpy: This is an all roads lead to mate kind of position. After Rg4 the top 3 moves (and maybe more) all come with mate in x moves per Stockfish.

Protecting white's advanced e5 pawn is key, otherwise black may have a strong g5! at some point, collapsing the white center. White's moves 10-12 are perfect for that purpose.
