The King's Indian Chronicles 3
Teen GM Vincent Keyner: BAYONET ATTACK
13/10/2021 – Even teen GM Vincent Keyner trusted the strength of the Bayonet Attack against the wild, aggressive King’s Indian Defense. Taming the bishop at g7 and controlling black pawn’s from attacking white’s kingside is a standard makeup of the Bayonet Attack.
Our featured two (2) games display different black variations that tell a story about how white breaks the pawn chain c7 and d6 to win the game. These games are classic examples on how to penetrate black’s defensive structure. Enjoy and let’s have coffee while listening to Matt Monroe’s almost perfect baritone voice.
