Default 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
