Hello everyone I've been having some OTB problems with the KID playing against the six pawns attack.
oops I forgot to add 10...Nd4 11.g5 thats the novelty.

How about 6...e5 instead? If you insist on 6...c5, Fritz 8 gives 7 d5 Qa5 8 Bd2 Qb6, and Black has to survive a horrible-looking game for a while before eventually getting play on the queenside files.
if black plays e5 it's antoher opening variation all together.
It certainly is--but it's one you, as Black, have control over whether or not to go into at move six. If you're sticking with 6...c5, then I have to say it looks rough for quite a while. Playing it out on Fritz 8, White's h-pawn went to h5 and then traded on g6. You can imagine how comfortable Black looks at that point. Black's play in order to survive looks counterintuitive to me.
no I play this position from the white side the fact your saying it looks bad for black is a good thing but I dont even play the KID.
Well, what continuations have been giving you trouble?
non di you see the second forumm im just talking about g5
I wondered what had been happening *after* g5. I play the KID as Black but have never run into the Six Pawns Attack. I'm interested in how the play might proceed, although I'd be likely to play 6...e5 and never get into it!

I am not quite sure about the soundness of white's position. After a very quick look Ne8, Nc7 and then d5 looks pretty reasonable for black.
