Taming 1.d4 with a King’s Indian Defense!

San Segundo vs. Judit Polgar (Benidorm 2002)

John-Paul examines Judit’s excellent attacking style in her favorite opening and starts with the juncture of the KID vs. Gruenfeld before guiding us into the Classical KID. Judit opts for the main line with 5…e5 6.Be3 (played by Karpov vs Kasparov in their World Championship match.)

Judit opted for 6…Ng4 7.Bg5 f6 8..Bh4 which she attempted to exploit with 8…g5 trying to restrict this piece. After completing development, the GM acquires a powerful attacking situation on the king-side. There is also good practical advice on playing positions you like even if ‘current theory’ advises against it.
