This is a blitz chess game I played as white with time control 3|2. The opening was the King’s Indian Attack. Black employs a system geared to prevent a space gaining white pawn on e5. Both sides must tread carefully in a position that does not quite has a defined pawn structure. In time, a very closed position arises…one that a computer (Stockfish 7 in this case) will find difficult to accurately assess.
