The King's Indian Defense
The King's Indian Defense lets White build a broad pawn center with 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6, fianchettoing the bishop to g7 and inviting White to overextend. Black's plan is one of the most thrilling in chess: castle, play ...e5, lock the center, and then hurl the kingside pawns forward with ...f5, ...g5, ...f4 in a direct race against White's queenside attack.
It is an opening of opposite-wing assaults, where calculation and courage matter more than equality. Both sides attack the enemy king at full speed, and the player who arrives first usually wins. Fischer, Kasparov, and Nakamura all made it a signature weapon.
The King's Indian is for the player who is willing to suffer a cramped position for forty moves in exchange for the chance to mate. As art it belongs to the all-or-nothing attacker.
The attacker who concedes the center to storm the king.
