The King’s Indian Defense is one of black’s most aggressive openings against 1. d4 as it nearly always leads to double-edged play and decisive results. The underlying themes and plans in the opening and middlegame are very consistent and clear – white tries to gain space in the center and open up play by attacking on the queenside, while black responds by gaining space on the kingside and pursuing a deadly attack against white’s king. This chess video is an excerpt from the 4 hour Empire Chess DVD Crushing White with the King’s Indian Defense by FM Alisa Melekhina.
