I think the vast majority of players that adhere to the kingside attack, study it to the detriment of the rest of the game.
But if your looking to defend from kingside attacks, I'd recommend the French Defense. Certain lines in the French practically beg white to launch a blistering kingside attack. It's defensible, but takes practice. In the long run, you will learn a LOT more about playing chess.
I know, with the scholastic crowd, a majority of weaker players go for strong kingside attacks. It's pretty much a badge of honor to be able to defend against those. I'm sure there are other lines that invite white to launch kingside attacks, but it was the French that taught be how to defend against them. I only have certain lines I play, and don't have time or inclination to study more lines. 🤣
Studying chess properly, and you'll be able to go for Kingside Attacks, when you recognize the opportunity to do so. -Which can come at any time in a game, not just the beginning. Kingside attacks should be an extension of your chess knowledge, not the focus of it.
I tried the French for exactly one tournament.
Maybe I should go back to playing the French on a regular basis. I love the dynamics. To get good at it, I had to learn to keep an eye for counter play on the parts of the board being neglected by my opponents, while they brutally try and smother me to death in one corner of the board.. usually where my king is. 😁
Still, I do like much more dynamic and usually riskier lines, stuff where the entire board is at play. Might be hard to convince myself to dust off the French for more than the occasional game.
Any specific training tool on kingside attack. Don't suggest me book because i don't like reading chess book.
