I think the King's gets a bad rap. Sure, it isn't often played at the master level but I believe one should play openings / defenses that they love :) Just my two sense.

The main task in the opening is to reach a middle-game position in which you feel comfortable. If the KG suits your style of play, then go for it.

Looking over my own records, I only find one KG as White... a Morra.

Pirandus

Morphy, later Bronstein!
