KIA not seen much at top level... why?
It doesn't attempt to fight for the initiative right from move 1.
I play it partly for that exact reason. It tends to defer the main struggle into the middle game, so it avoids any premature resolution of the tension. At our level, an early confrontation tends to lead to early exchanges, the dissipation of tension, and a sterile middle game. The KIA avoids this tendency.

Because people at the top level are good
Was asking @bluemu? Smelly sock puppet.
Of all the system openings out there for white, . London System, KIA, Colle, etc. What is the most attack oriented? Thank you!
I dont want to learn theory, but I also dont want to play dull games
Learn this much theory:
You do NOT gain the advantage by attacking.
Exactly the opposite... you attack when you have the advantage.
Learn how to maneuver to gain the advantage, and then opportunities to attack will arise.
