I tried to annotate move by move but i failed lol

Hi everyone, it's you know who

It was brought to my attention that this club seemed to be dying, and I hadn't posted anything constructive here for two consecutive days, so I played a rapid game and now I will share it with you all

I've also noticed lots of very beginner players, and generally beginners are confused as what to do, how to think, so I decided to annotate the opening a little bit more, show some ideas, reasoning, instead of just glossing over the opening with something like "so now we have a normal king's indian fianchetto variation" which would probably have the same effect on many people as someone speaking Arabic would have on me.

Of course I still haven't held back on my annotations past the opening, so if you're a stronger player I'd assume you'll have a good read

so

yes

danke 

wtf why did he resign? his queen is right there!

his queen is pinned to the king and therefore lost...

black's queen is pinned to his king. If black moves his queen, his king is in check, so moving the queen (anywhere) is an illegal move. Therefore he has to move his king before moving his queen, but if black moves his king white simply takes the queen.

Also, it would be cool for everyone who reads the stuff to write a comment, so I know you read it, and you can always ask questions. If you don't like it please let me know, so I can try to make it better for you.

Oh yeah, it was a really interesting setup you chose with d4, c4, the two knights, is this basically a Catalan against the KID?

basically, just a fianchetto to copy black's. 

Generally I just go d4 c4, bring out my bishops and immediately go for the trade. Thoughts?

I usually play like this

and just lock the center and trade the bishop

It's the fianchetto variation, which is different from the standard KID because white retains the option of attacking on the kingside as well as the queenside, instead of simply getting attacked on the kingside. Or alternatively, white can transpose into a maroczy structure if he wants.

Trade... where? In the KID generally neither side wants to trade bishops. 

hes talking about creating a battery with the bishop and the queen on d3 and e3 and trading the dsb. and players under 1500 who play the KID dont know that lol

First of all I'm 1600 Second of all I have no prep against the KID... barely face it.

was referring to under 1500s not you lol. i know you know that already

I know I just do that because of one game where I got a (not completely sound in the beginning) attack that was sooooo much fun and left me up four pawns in a rook endgame.

sometimes you don't wanna trade the dark-squared bishop if the center is blocked, because then the trade favors black.

Generally I keep the center open and that's why

Nice.

Thanks for posting this game. I enjoyed the annotations and look forward to more posts of this nature. It definitely helps to see how higher rated players thinks during a game.

Lol
