The King's Indian Attack - Part 1

Notes on a Lecture by FM Steve Stoyko


The great thing about an opening like the King's Indian Attack as White is that it is more about piece placement and positional motifs than it is about specific book lines. Every piece has its best square -- except the dark-squared Bishop. As FM Steve Stoyko pointed out in discussing these games, the successful development of White's queen's Bishop thus often signals the end. As he put it: "As soon as you know where that Bishop goes, the game is over." It is remarkable how well that idea holds up across these nine examples.

Game 1 : Steve Stoyko (2341) - John Jarecki (2239) [B50]






Game 2 : Steve Stoyko (2340) - Fitzko (1950) [A04]






Game 3 : Steve Stoyko - Paul Truong [B40]





Game 4 : Steve Stoyko (2340) - Peter Radomskij (2260) [A05]






The remaining 5 illustrative games of this lecture will be concluded in the next post i.e. The King's Indian Attack Part 2
