Bobby Fischer was renowned for his opening preparation and made numerous contributions to chess opening theory. The King's Indian Attack (or KIA) is a chess opening system and is characterized by the following moves: the central pawns are developed to e4 and d3, the knights are developed to d2 and f3, the king's bishop is fianchettoed at g2 following the g-pawn's move to g3, and White castles kingside.

    Thanks! I like the format and you have a linguistic flair!

    I started playing chess in August of 2023 and I just crossed the 1050 mark today. I am currently playing the London system and queen’s gambit as white and the Sicilian defence and king’s Indian defence as black. I will happily include this in my arsenal especially because I was looking for something to play as white in place of the London system

    Hey Sammy thanks!!! awesome presentation. Your commentary is very precise and eloquent. Taking this trip down memory lane- years back when I was a kid- it's a pleasure seeing your Gen Z looking at Fischer's games- brilliant games indeed.
  • @mcjameson3942
    You analysis is simple and easy to understand, welldone!
  • @kimbirch1202
    How Fischer could see so many moves ahead is staggering to me.

    i love how common expressions from Ben Finegold have entered into the parlance of chess conversation. never play f6, always play king b1, c4 is explosive, knife f5, etc. he's our own rodney dangerfield. when i started playing semi-professionally in 2015 i watched all those st. louis chess center lectures, great times. still had all my hair! great content niche man, these focused vids on specific openings attached to distinctive players is a great idea. Would love to see Vladimir Kovacevic (?) and the French defense, he absolutely murdered Bobby Fischer with the French and has a few absolute gems in that opening. Check it out, Sammy. btw hopefully this does not offend but you resemble my cousin who is also named Sammy, but he has the most obscene 'fro. haha, cheers
