As we all know, Sveta often does the Kings Indian and she obliterates all opponents. Inspired by her incredible success at deploying the kings indian, I have committed to studying the opening. Here is a demo of the Keres Variation, which is quite complicated. The reason for the complication is that i have no clue how to do the keres variation yet, but the computer says i did that variation.

Also of note, now that I did the Keres variation, I will be starting a Keres variation school, where the focus will be on strict adherence to only playing the Keres variation. Some may call us a cult, some may say we are scamming, but the Keres variation school will be the best school ever. Moreover, we hope to eventually evolve the Keres Variation school into a full blown cult.

Behold: The Keres Variation School of Chess! We shall live, breathe, and chant only the Keres Variation, night and day—like a mystical mantra that unlocks the grand secrets of pawn pushes and unstoppable attacks. Critics may call us a cult; skeptics may say we’re pulling off some elaborate con; but they just don’t realize that the truth lies in 6.g4! (we’d bow in reverence, except our hands are permanently glued to the pieces).

Imagine a campus dotted with chessboards as far as the eye can see, each table devoted to dissecting the hidden glories of 6.g4. Picture a horde of robed enthusiasts, all chanting opening lines in unison. (We also serve only black coffee—no sugar or milk—because that’s how serious we are about the intensity of our Keres convictions.)

Of course, there will be daily rituals. We’ll begin each dawn by reading a passage from Paul Keres’s greatest games, accompanied by the throaty hum of “Sacrifice, my child, sacrifice” (we can’t stress how crucial it is to sac on f5 at least once a day). Every evening, we'll gather around a giant Sicilian Dragon effigy—which, ironically, we vow never to summon, because only the Keres Variation can bring true enlightenment!

Soon our movement—er, school—will no longer be satisfied with a mere corner of the chess world. We plan to spread across the globe! Our custom-tailored Keres Variation uniforms (a tasteful fusion of bishop’s miters, knight helmets, and black-and-white color schemes) will be recognized in every tournament hall. We’ll convert unsuspecting bystanders in the park and your fellow club members alike by whispering, “Have you heard the good news about 6.g4?” Suddenly, before they realize it, they’ll be chanting it, too.

Sure, some might say that strictly adhering to a single opening for the rest of eternity is a questionable life choice. Some might even cry foul and say, “That’s not how chess was meant to be played!” But they haven’t tasted the sweet, sweet power of launching those kingside pawns like a runaway freight train. They haven’t felt the adrenaline rush when the universe aligns and your g-pawn hovers menacingly on g5. They haven’t ascended to the temple of Keres.

Rest assured, we welcome all who share this passion, no matter how strange your repertoire may be. The only catch? You must never so much as glance at a French Defense. Because that’s just taboo. And if you ever slip in a Sveshnikov or a Najdorf, well, that’s a sin we can maybe forgive—once—but don’t make us get the excommunication forms.

But hey, as they say: “One person’s Keres Variation is another person’s unshakable cultlike devotion.” Or something like that. So join us, sign the charter, and join the crusade for the pure, unwavering glory of the Keres Variation! After all, who wouldn’t want to be part of the best—and possibly the only—Keres Variation Cult School on earth? We promise: it’s a checkmate for your soul.
