The German site has a compilation in CB format of games, and the Stoyko website had some very nicely annotated games in which he made the strategical demands very clear.
I wonder if forum readers would be interested in a KIA thematic tournament? I am not a premium member but would be willing to become one if there were interest in forming a study group/tournaments around the opening.
I am willing to join the gorup study. Actually I am interested with this opening. trying to use in avoiding sicilian and not ...e5 answers
I play the KIA as my main opening for White. I'd love to take part in a tournament and/or KIA-players' group. Count me in.
Black didn't play any moves thats weird
my diagram was just meant to show how the KIA looks for white
the tournament has already started several weeks ago^^
I don't know if he's going to organise another one? though I'd be interested!
There is a book called " How to think ahead in chess " I think it was by redi and horwitz. It has s simmilar type of oppening in it called the stonewall attack.The book also has some coverage of the sicillion. hm....I just noticed the difference.The stonewall looks much like that with a queens pawn oppening.The pawns would be at c3 d4 and it is still a goal to push that pawn to e4 and maybe even e5.
If I'm not mistaken, that's a Colle opening...
