My ideas

This thread, is about my ideas. I'll try to make it as graphical and as less numerical & verbal as I can, so no bore will apply.

I have two. this is the first one:

The idea here, is to fight the K.I.D without c4 and e4 - faster attack. - just swapping the bishop - his best defender, play 0-0-0, and coming on him full-force.

The same applies when White plays 1.Nf3 - trying to play K.I.D as a system:

Against 1.Nf3 I guess Nc3, e4 are needed, for horsy can chase

---

The other idea, is against 1.d4 - with a waiting-game, semi-slav style - the triangle.

Today, I didn't manage to play against 1.d4... so there's no example yet.

---

Okay, the first idea needs a little fix - the horse can chase the bishop effectively - Nd5, so...

And, of course, I base this whole thing on the fact that your opponent plays the K.I.D Anyways - ignoring your moves, so please, spare me the correct move-by-move engine analysis, we play against humans here. mostly.

You should probably learn basic opening principles, never mind positional ideas before trying to come up with an opening

What a great comment! Thanks for coming! Drop by soon! (isn't the internet just full of good people? ah guys?)

I'm giving you constructive criticism. It's not necessarly that the ideas are bad, you just clearly don't understand them, along with the fact that you even considered 3.Nh4 in the second diagram clearly shows that you lack basic opening principles. It's most often not a good idea to move the same piece more than once in the opening, and usually pieces, especially knights, aren't well placed on the side of the board.

--

Okay, here's the second idea (it already exists - the alatortsev var. of the QGD, but I do it without Be7), the thing is, White wants to develop the D.S.Bishop and close the pawn chain, and you don't have to allow him that , at least not to g5, if he lands on f4, then he's on a diagonal which is doing nothing beneficial for him, usually, except one thing - preventing Me from using it, to attack his king. so...it's a built up... you can play waiting moves and slowly build up - h6, a6, b4, Bb2 etc.

I don't get people like you. okay, you have some rating, now what? your going over the chess forum, seeking to insult people? what was the purpose of your comment other than patronizing? giving me a good advice??? horrible!

Go away! you are not welcome here!

This is a public forum. Actually I don't just have some rating, I play real OTB chess. I wasn't seeking to insult you. I found this forum and thought it was interesting, but was disappointed, since you didn't come up with anything special, and didn't understand what you were talking about.

Then now I want to ask you, why did you create this forum in the first place?

Trying the idea in practice. seem to work - the bishop-snatch. rest of game.. me being too fast

First one black has no obligation to hang a rook. I wouldn't play these, not my style. Too offbeat and could be punished otb. Just my opinion.

Another idea is the manual 0-0. (My idea is the technique) and here goes:

---

let's take the Dutch for example:

--

So Black played 0-0, Rook lift, and rook swing (and in This case you don't need to play f5 only to lift the rook, but sometimes you do, so it's 4 move).

how about...

--

So it's 4 moves as well - Kf8, Kg8, h5, and if you want an escape sqr for the king, you lift the rook 2 sqrs. - so it's 4 moves, and you got the h5 pawn to attack with...

---

(Yes, I know White can take the rook and blah blah blah, I'm only showing the idea. Thanks in advance to all the R.P.Cs out there (Random Purposeless Critic))

and again, you Gain a move - you don't need to play f5 to lift the rook - (unless it's the Dutch - so you don't gain a move because f5 is played Anyways).

---

Another example, without an early f5:

This is a basic position.

---

The regular setup:

White used 4 moves - 0-0, f4, rook up, rook  right-wards.

---

My setup:

Now it's only 3 moves - Kf1, Kg1, h4.

---

Yes, it has drawbacks (like anything in life really) - the f2 isn't as safe, the back-rank is weak. perhaps the queen is slower in the attack.. still - you have the h pawn to punch with.

That's it for now. Farewell!

indeed. I like your confidence, ideas and bravado 👍🏼. Keep at it, even when things, or games don't go your way. My one advice: broaden your mind to other things, other similar openings. Actually play the QGD with Bf4 attack, it'll blow your mind! Best wishes ✌🏽

Fighting the English Opening - A strategic idea

The above is only an example. I assume your English opponent will play g3, Bg2, 0-0.

As one can see, because White played 1.c4 and not 1.d4, we have a more spatial version of the Classical Dutch, or if you want, of the Leningrad Dutch / King's Indian Defense (I chose the Classical Dutch because you can play g5 in one move - not g6 and then g5).

---

Strategy:

1. Put king in corner.

2. Strive for the following - Major pieces surrounding you king, X-raying the enemy king, and watching your queenside pawns.

3. Minor pieces above them - ready to be traded / sacrificed.

4. Pawns above them - ready to open up the opponent's kingside.

---

The idea is taken from Kasparov's game against Fritz X3D:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCwi_Pbb9Pk&t=90s

He made a queen, you will try to mate a king.

---

Of horse, one can fight for the queenside as well - Karpov style:

Karpov vs. Kamsky

But that's boring (Far better though..)

---

And, as Mr. Mato (Youtube - Chess School) says: And, that is all. I wish you good luck with your chess, and, bye for now.

P.S. When fighting against a fianchettoed king, if you're a human, you should take his bishop - with a bishop-queen battery, like against the Sicilian Dragon - in the Yugoslav Attack. his bishop is too good a defender, your attack probably won't work without swapping it. his horse can be kicked by pawns, so... and that's how you fight a King's Indian Defense, Pirc, etc.

Here's an example - I got in, but my tactics weren't so good, and he found a draw...

Against 1.c4 - The English Opening

There's actually a better idea:

you play 1...e6 - forcing him to play d4 - returning to d4 openings, or insist on play 'English style' and stay cramped, I say it from experience - I played the English for al least 2 months, the hardest response to it isn't e5 / c5, it's e6. let's see what happens, if White insists on playing 'English' style:

(lichess.com's opening book)

And if he Does play d4, then yes... you play the Stonewall Dutch, just like Magnus has taught us:

Of horse, GM Henley explains the opening further:

This position is equal - 0.0 by the computer. I would rather be Black here...

The Batmobile - a strange new 'hippo' setup (sometimes bad ideas may develop to good ones in the future, practically, White grabs space and it's kinda hard to handle):
