  Sally Simpson: Yes a good KID that one. Had a few like it myself. Sometimes they go like clockwork. I played Nc6 before e5 to avoid the dxe5 variations. I loved playing against the Samisch and the four pawn attack, though my results with the latter varied. I lost a few going sac happy trying to recreate that famous Fischer game. I got stomped a few times in that one.

The only time I paused when skipping through this game was on 16...dxc5. I often completely ignored what was going on the on the Q-side and just played to get the K-side going.

Funnily enough when I got a KID reversed or played the KIA I never had the same results or half as much fun.

May-04-24  JedwardDance: Hello Sally Simpson. Yes, 16...dxc5 shows that Black has to pay at least a smidgen of upkeep to the Queenside, but it's all good because of the g3 Pawn sacrifice that is now known after the White Bishop retreats to f2. Practically, Black couldn't ask for more.

Keep playing the King's Indian!

  Sally Simpson: Hi Jed,

And no doubt 16...dxc5 was probably correct but knowing me I would have ignored it. In one game I carried this to extreme and allowed a pawn to take on b7 and a Rook-with check on a8. I'll have to find that game because I really cannot remember if I won it, scrounged perpetual (possibly) or lost (most probably)

I'll see if I can dig out some of my KID's. They fall into two groups. Brilliant or complete idiotic disasters.

Though a Pirc (a poor man's KID) this one H McMillan vs G Chandler, 2006 gives a flavour of the fun me and a g7 Bishop had.
