KIA A00 A04 A07 A08 B10 B40 C00 KIA
Compiled by fredthebear
--*--

A person can learn a lot of positional chess by playing a reversed KID/Robatsch as White. However, there are no sudden attacks of f7!

Most of FTB's collections tend to begin with miniatures and odd-ball openings, perhaps a small collection of a certain type of related opening or tactic. The meat of this collection begins around game 20, but is yet to be fully sorted.

The application of ECO codes varies considerably in the KIA. The term "Zukertort Opening" 1.Nf3 is loosely applied to many openings, such as the KIA, Nimzo-Larsen Attack, Reti/English, and Colle-Zukertort/Rubinstein.

When a proper, lasting tag does not seem consistently applicable, I tend to name pawn structures w/minor piece placements after other openings that are familiar. Technically, this is wrong but it helps sorting in my mind. For example, a reversed Torre Attack by Black (others would say Caro-Kann defense or Yugoslav System) places pawns on c6 and d5, knights on Nd7 and Nf6, and a Bg5 which distinguishes it from a reversed London System (IMHO properly called Lasker's New York System) with a Bf5, a cousin of the Baltic/Slav Defense. Those are queen pawn openings/defenses applied to this White flank/delayed or direct king pawn opening. (The KIA can start a number of different ways, including 1.e4, 1.Nf3, 1.g3 or 1.d3.) Black's pawn structures and piece placements are flexible, so White must adapt, improvise and overcome.

If you prefer specific, sequential move-orders instead of general structures, then play 1.e4 and 2.Nf3 straight away w/out a fianchetto and start memorizing, keep memorizing, forever memorizing opening theory for each specific Black defense.

Thank you Michael.

Snow White & the Huntsman by Evan Daugherty

"Who will you be when faced with the end?
The end of a kingdom,
The end of good men,
Will you run?
Will you hide?
Or will you hunt down evil with a venomous pride?

Rise to the ashes,
Rise to the winter sky,
Rise to the calling,
Make heard the battle cry.
Let it scream from the mountains
From the forest to the chapel,
Because death is a hungry mouth
And you are the apple.

So who will you be when faced with the end?
When the vultures are circling
And the shadows descend
Will you cower?
Or will you fight?
Is your heart made of glass?
Or a pure Snow White?"
― Lily Blake, Snow White & the Huntsman
