strong open well payed
My King's Indian Attack Game
Sort:
11. a4!? is actually to secure the c4 post for your knight =)
16. Ng5 seems weird. it doesn't do anything there beside move the queen.
something like 16. Nd2, Nf1, Ne3 looks interesting (eyeing the d5 square). This way, you can justify the doubled c pawns (the bind on d5).
22. f4?! is bad because it allows black to trade off his bad bishop (what was that doing on g7?) again, keeping the knight with Nf3 and moving it to d5 is interesting.
But the resulting position with 2 knights on the rim is amusing.
the Bxc5 tactic was nice, showing a lack of prejudice to giving up the bishop pair. Although you certainly did not play according to KIA "ideals", it definitely didn't matter. You played positionally well (the resulting endgame was too easy for white!) despite missing an even more dominating middle game.
I like this game though. You opened used the open files as avenues for your rooks to support the passed pawn. A very strong technical game

I recently played a game using the 1. e4 variation of the King's Indian Attack that I am quite proud of. In it, I wasn't able to initiate the characteristic King side attack, so I regrouped to the opposite wing and used my positional pressure to gain the advantage. Position is something that's just starting to "click" with me. Though I've always known about it, I've only just begun paying special attention to it when I analyze games. It's very exciting to be able to use the same ideas that you have recently been learning about. I hope you enjoy the game and are as harsh as possible in your analysis of it because otherwise we wouldn't learn nearly as much.
