Just Fischer, Kasparov, Polgar and Seirwan to name a few who have strongly played the Kings Indian.

MMMMMMM is just weak and doesn't understand dynamic positions.

Re: Chess Openings
 

It's girlie chess, jokerswild: plain and simple.


Ruy Lopez = Real Chess.

Gambits (other than QG) = Ballsy Chess

Open Games = Real Chess

Sicilian = Real Chess

Slow Positional Games = Gag Me With A Spoon Chess

King's Indian for White = Girlie Chess + Gag Me With A Spoon Chess

Only thing worse than King's Indian Attack is Pirc Defense. Pirc/Modern players should be summarily executed. King's Indian Attack players, however, have no excuse whatsoever since they are playing WHITE. They should be horsewhipped for delay of game, and then shot.

Also, if you'll notice, Fischer and the other greats you mention did play the KIA a bit, but eventually settled on more assertive openings for White. A word to the wise.

Re: Chess Openings
 

they all used to play the KID... the KID has really fallen out of favor of the top players these days... its a really fun opening but current theory has really hurt its rep. white always seems to get an easy edge. same thing happend to the sicilian dragon.

the highest rated player that regularly plays the pirc is azmaiparashvili and he isn't even in the top 25. i still play the pirc exclusively as black against e4. the high end theory doesn't matter much if you are an amateur

Re: Chess Openings
 

the pirc leads to open games as much as it leads to closed games.... i don't think you really understand that opening....


from a theoretical standpoint it isn't blacks strongest weapon against e4 (its by far not the weakest either) but i don't think that is what you are concerned about.

at any rate the pirc can be very sharp and very tactical, it creates an inherently asymmetrical game which can lead to all sorts of complications. it is an attackers opening

Re: Chess Openings
 

as for the KIA, the KIA fell out of favor as a big time opening about 30 years ago...a fair amount of GMs use it on occasion but more as a novelty, personally i don't think its as powerful or as fun as the KID. the KID has stuck around until just recently (5 years ago maybe).

Re: Chess Openings
 

You are right when you say you don't think I understand the Pirc--and I don't want to understand it! I hate the Pirc. It is an opening for dweebs!

Re: Chess Openings
 

My highrest rating was 2287. I defeated GM Fishbein, IM Mulyar, IM Brooks, and have various draws with other GMs.

I don't need your advice MMMMMM.

Sorry, MMMMMM, when you said Don't play girlie chess, I thought you meant CHESS was girlie. Not the opening was girlie. My apologies.

If you played these people then you would be registered with FIDE and would be able to prove these matches occured. Do you have proof?

Also, if your so smart and disciplined, why do you say so much stupid [censored].

Re: Chess Openings
 

Cross tables, and score sheets.

I don't say stupid things. I'm just not a bigoted rich fascist like most of the scum around here.

Why do you say so many crazy and stupid things?
