Chess: Understanding the Classical King's Indian Part II
1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 g6 3 Nc3 Bg7 4 e4 d6 5 Nf3 0-0
6 Be2 e5 7 0-0 Nc6 8 d5 Ne7 Line
What's the game plan for White?
Instead of initiating queenside operations
through 9 b4 (Please refer to Understanding
the Classical King's Indian Part I), White can
opt for 9 Nd2. This move not only prepares
for b4, c5 and Nc4, but it also prevents
... Nh5, so, if Black wants to play ... f5,
he must move his knight backwards. 9 Ne1 is
also a viable alternative for White. It too
deters ... Nh5, but it abandons the plan to
relocate the knight to the best square c4,
aiming for d3 instead. From d3, the knight
supports b4 and c5.
What's the game plan for Black?
Mitigate White's queenside attack by
9 ... a5 or 9 ... c5. 9 ... a5 gains Black
a tempo because White is now compelled
to prepare b4 with the moves a3 and Rb1.
9 ... c5, on the other hand, easily permits
the Rb1 and b4 offensive, but, it prevents
White from attaining a significant space
advantage, thus forcing him to execute the
attack on a narrower front. Black can also
make a pre-emptive strike via ... c6 so as
to interfere with White's assault. Initiating
kingside action through 9 ... Ne8 or 9 ... Nd7
is inadvisable because White's attack arrives
first.
