Avoiding Black’s favorite lines in the Queen Pawn openings is Aaron’s goal in this presentation, and he provides nice moves for White to play to achieve this. He starts by showing a way to trick KID players into a Pirc, and then continues with delaying e4, choosing Nc3 instead, and demonstrating good White plans in the Barry Attack. Aaron shows that The Barry Attack with Bf4 is logical and a dangerous positional system that can help with game winning tactical shots on c7.
