Need Help With KIA
Sort:
Too much lines...
There are some books for that...
Lol, I just posted a thread about what move to choose as White in move 14 in the Orthodox QGD and all I got was haters, better not ask serious questions here. There are some books and probably you will be able to find some relevant info on Wikipedia
Ok.... thanks anyways I guess, though i'm probably not going to buy a book on it.
We cannot show you "a few lines" because Black can basically play whatever he wants against the KIA: Sicilian defense, French defense, Queen's indian, King's indian, Dutch and so on...
I could advise you several study games if you plan to play it mainly against the French. Otherwise, you need to watch videos (try Dzindzinshashvili on Youtube) or read books (e.g Starting out - King's Indian Attack, by John Emms) on this opening. Also, there is a group here called KIA inc.
Far from the common thinking, you cannot handle the KIA just by always throwing 10 moves and by knowing "a few lines".
well its been a couple months and actually bought a book a couple months agoXD
The KIA is discussed in Winning Chess Openings by GM Yasser Seirawan.

It was part of a seven part series of chess books. Here is a review of three other books in the series:

For more on the KIA, one could try The King's Indian Attack: Move by Move by Grandmaster Neil McDonald. Perhaps, it would be of interest to look at The Fianchetto Solution by Emmanuel Neiman and Samy Shoker.

"... For players with very limited experience, I recommend using openings in which the play can be clarified at an early stage, often with a degree of simplification. To accomplish this safely will take a little study, because you will have to get used to playing wiith open lines for both sides' pieces, but you can't eliminate risk entirely in the opening anyway. ... teachers all over the world suggest that inexperienced players begin with 1 e4. ... You will undoubtedly see the reply 1 ... e5 most often when playing at or near a beginner's level, ... After 2 Nf3, 2 ... Nc6 will occur in the bulk of your games. ... I recommend taking up the classical and instructive move 3 Bc4 at an early stage. Then, against 3 ... Bc5, it's thematic to try to establish the ideal centre by 4 c3 and 5 d4; after that, things can get complicated enough that you need to take a look at some theory and learn the basics; ... Of course, you can also play 1 d4 ... A solid and more-or-less universal set-up is 2 Nf3 and 3 Bf4, followed in most cases by 4 e3, 5 Be2 and 6 0-0. I'd rather see my students fight their way through open positions instead; however, if you're not getting out of the opening alive after 1 e4, this method of playing 1 d4 deserves consideration. ... a commonly suggested 'easy' repertoire for White with 1 Nf3 and the King's indian Attack ... doesn't lead to an open game or one with a clear plan for White. Furthermore, it encourages mechanical play. Similarly, teachers sometimes recommend the Colle System ..., which can also be played too automatically, and usually doesn't lead to an open position. For true beginners, the King's Indian Attack and Colle System have the benefit of offering a safe position that nearly guarantees passage to some kind of playable middlegame; they may be a reasonable alternative if other openings are too intimidating. But having gained even a small amount of experience, you really should switch to more open and less automatic play." - IM John Watson in a section of his 2010 book, Mastering the Chess Openings, Volume 4
I'm trying to learn about the KIA(Kings Indian Attack) because I want to switch to it as white(I know there are alot of starting moves to KIA but I want to play 1.Nf3). Does anyone know a few lines?
