King's Indian Defense Repertoire 1/3 : Classical variation 2 : Model games 1

In our last forum topic we were discussing the initial moves of the KID classical variation. Those who has not read the first forum post about KID, please refer to the forum post ' King's Indian Defense Repertoir 1 : Classical variation 

Now before going for the discussion of the other variations in KID, we will study few model games which will help us to have a general hang of the KID themes and how to apply them in our games.

The first game is between 

Wesley So (white) vs Hikaru Nakamura (black). It is a 2015 game.

As I have explained that the initial 8 moves are exactly same as I have explained in the first article.

Let us see the main ideas and strategies.

Hope it will help you.
