Learning the KID(King's Indian Defense)
This is a post for to learn the KID opening.
So the King's Indian Defense is a hypermodern aggressive opening for Black as a response for 1.d4. Following hypermodern principles, Black allows White to build a strong pawn center to later counter-attack it. A sharp opening, the King's Indian is not be the best choice for beginners.
This is the starting position of the King's Indian Defense
The main idea for black is to let white gain initial space in the center while black develops minor pieces to attack the center later. Where black main attack is on the Kingside as for white his attack is on the Queenside.
