Another one: KIA vs Silican

Or I think so.

Sorry I got off track.

This is my favorite other than the silican. I won it against a bunch of people on other chess engines.

   First of all, if someone does play the French against you on chess.com you had better believe they know the French Defense really well.  Don't be caught off guard.  Secondly, the King's Indian Reversed, or King's Indian Attack is an attempt by the player of the White pieces to get Black off the book.  Too outfox the fox. However, I do not recommend those who do not play the King's Indian Defense, study Bobby Fisher's games with KIA, or play it against the Sicilian and Caro-Kann (as well as the the French) to venture to use it.  It is always possible to play the French Exchange Variation instead, which leads to an equal game, but out of the complications.

   Against the French new players and lower ratings have trouble.  Plus the fact, in the Winauer Variation of the French some players of the Black pieces have booked their games right down to the end game variations.  In the Classical French, many amature players will face a Black Central Pawn Roller in the end game (See Mikhail Botvinnik's early games).  Experts with the French can also be experts with the Classical Dutch Defense (See Mikhail Botvinniks games with the Dutch Stonewall).  To say "nobody plays it against you" means you don't know it.  All the more reason to learn.  Some people use the King's Indian Attack because they basically hate and fear the French.  It may give Black a cramped position, but he can come out of the coil like an Anaconda or a Python.  The French is not to be taken lightly.  There is much more to the French than the Tarrasch Variation as popularized by Victor Korchnoi in his candidate match games with Anatoly Karpov.  At the same time Black needs to play c5 against the King's Indian Attack (just as in the Tarrasch variation).  Black attacks queenside and White attacks kingside in this variation.  The more agressive Black gets on the queenside the better his game will be.

I PERSONALLY PERFER ENGLISH OVER FRENCH DEFENSE

I dont understand, why people play the KIA.

You cant get any advantage with that, with black i would play later ...dxe4 and then ...e5

I play with black then ...e5 in two moves (because of 1. ...e6), but in this open position the white bishop on g2 and the white knight on d2 look very silly.

Guys, d3 is quite good, maybe better than d4. It follows KIA moves. e4, d3, Nd2, Ngf3, g3, Bg2, and O-O.

A mi me gusta mucho la defensa francesa. Pero esa linea no la he estudiado. Espero no toparme con ella tan pronto, pues creo que me sentiria muy indefenso. Gracias por proponerlo, ahora se que otras cosas me pueden esperar si juego con negras.
