I'm fairly new to playing the King's Indian Defence but I've found it to be a very satisfying way to play aggressively against 1.d4/1.c4 openings. In the few months I've been playing it, I've come to realize the immensity of this complex, labyrinth-like opening. Playing this opening has helped me become a better strategical player, and the pawn tension that usually builds up in many variations usually leads to very creative tactical play. There's also a lot of room for improvisation when white departs early from book lines. Although I have Joe Gallagher's "Starting Out: KID" book, for lowly players like myself, he doesn't really say what to do when white avoids all the main variations (the Classical, Fianchetto, Samisch, Four Pawns, etc.)

So I'm presenting here a recent game I played using the KID, and you'll probably notice that white's openings moves (at least IMO) are a bit too cautious. By move 11 I felt that I was pretty much =/near =, and I felt as at a crossroads whether or not to retreat the f6 knight and begin a kingside pawnstorm, or perhaps just continue to play for center.This is the first game I've ever posted for feedback, and I'd appreciate any comments about the strategy used in this game, and any general advice you have about playing the KID as black.

heheh, looks like there was a flashy sacrifice afterall that I had (should have run an engine analysis over this game before posting ) 28... Ng4+ 29. hxg4 Qh4+ 30. Kg2 Rxg4 31. Qxg4 Qxg4 32. Rb1 b6 33. Bd1 Qg7 34. Bb3 Be6 35.
