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.
