Ask the Knight on g1 what he thinks of the move f3

Are you a Kings Indian player? Are you a Samisch player? Ask the knight on g1 what he thinks about the move f3! What do you think he would say? 

-topic originaly by Ukrainian Grandmaster Eduard Gufeld

I suppose the knight would say "there's always e2 and h3"

He would say - "who moved my cheese"?

"Why can't I move in a straight line like all the other pieces? My legs are going lame from always moving around corners."

Usually ends up on f4 or g3 for me.  I think he likes f4 better than f3.

My favorite is to maneuver the queen's knight to g3 while the king's knight is still on b1.

I have heard the quote about the knight as well, "what do you think the knight would say about f3". OP you should tell people what you're talking about. 

In my opinion it's a stupid sentiment. The knight is often well placed on e2 and it's a meaningless saying. GMs are allowed to say stupid things like anyone else.  

GM Gufeld loved the KID too much. His comment should be taken with a grain of salt

Larsen also wrote 5. f3 is a horrible move.

I play the Samisch KID as white and I get good results with it.

You could just as well ask the f-pawn what the clumsy knight is doing sitting in front of him, preventing him from solidifying the white centre.

The knight said:"Nice one Boss!Me,I'm going to e2.Thanks Boss!"

I'm pretty sure he was joking when he said that.

"Sigh ... those lowly pawns get to take the position explicitly reserved for an officer like myself. Oh well. Talk about grumpy chess-generals ..."

Yeah, the kingside sits undeveloped for a long time in some games.  I think Black does White a favor when he tries to put a knight on c4, because I trade the LSB for it without much thought.
