don't play the kid, simple as that

I have a big tournament coming up on May 1st, so I can't switch openings.

I literally said it in the OP.

It is so annoying to play as black. White has more space, better pieces, and a better center. What does black have? A kingside attack that works 0.1% of the time and bad pieces. Oh, i forgot to mention the mediocre space. I have a big tournament coming up on May 1st, so I can't switch openings. Seriously, how do you play it as black?

 

Play this

Honestly, I've had quite a lot of success with the KID, but if it doesn't work for you, and you can't exactly change openings, learn a side variation that might give you more space and activity.

It is better for 1000 rated players. Not really that good for 1600 to 1800 players.
