The King's Indian Chronicles 1
Avoiding the Bayonet Attack
06/10/2021 – GM Teimur Radjabov considered the most feared King’s Indian player. I have seen many of his games and there’s a resemblance with GM Kasparov’s games.
Our featured two (2) games are both King’s Indian themes although there are transpositions that are diverted to different opening lines. GM Mamedyarov used white’s g3 line, while the 2nd featured game, GM Kramnik dealt with GM Radjabov’s prepared King’s Indian line 7..exd4 (avoiding the Bayonet Attack). Let’s enjoy these games while having coffee and chocolate cake…Yum!!

The King's Indian or transposed to Gruenfeld
1st Game : Check diagram below (GAME VIEWER 1)
GM Mamedyarov's 6.b3 move I say "dubious" since black created weaknesses at white's position at an early stage. What a wonderful game to see, it teaches us about " Dark Square Strategy".
The King's Indian Other variation 7...exd4
2nd Game: Check diagram below (GAME VIEWER 2)
GM Teimur Radjabov avoided the main line and used the 7...ed4 line versus GM Vladimir Kramnik. We witness a deep understanding of endgame position by GM Kramnik as shown here. This game is classy, so nice to watch, full of chess goodness... Watch my game below (YouTube video) it shows how to deal with other King's Indian variations.
