I am not proud of this game at all, lol. As you can see the d5 is an immediate problem. Perhaps I should play Nf3 and wait for e4? >>>

Advice for the Kings Indian Attack
Sort:
This next one should be entitled "how to lose against the Nimzowitch" defence

I actually won this one against the Caro Kann but it was a complete mess

Any Kings Indian attack players out there? What advice do you have?
It seems like a good opening but it has some trouble against certain openings. I know it doesnt work against Scandinavian. It just about works against the French and Caro Kann, but d5 is a strong pawn and puts pressure on e4.
What about standard e5 defences? Do you persist with the set up or try something different? With the black pawn on e5 it is kind of hard to get our own pawn there!
Also, how about the Nimzowitch defence against the KIA? An opponent played it against me and I didn't really know how to deal with it.
I will post a few of my recent games below so you tell me where I am messing up (if you want). I also play the Vienna game Paulsen version which is close to the KIA
