(Again 2700+ players in question.)<\/p>\n<p>And they win. Consistently\u2026 and often spectacularly.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s the mystery here? It\u2019s because the\u00a0<strong>King\u2019s Indian Defense is like a coiled cobra ready to strike at a moment\u2019s notice\u2026 landing a nasty bite on the enemy king, and White would end up paralyzed to \u201cdeath\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>But to play it, you need to learn it.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where IM Marcin Sieciechowicz\u2019s 10 hour video training that unravels this beautiful opening for you in all its glory.<\/p>\n<p>Starting from the Petrosian system to the Averbakh system to the Bayonet Attack, he takes each variation and decodes it move by move.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter \" src=\"https:\/\/videoapi-muybridge.vimeocdn.com\/animated-thumbnails\/image\/3356ec50-bda8-40d6-8109-96495b6e915f.gif?ClientID=sulu&amp;Date=1735145391&amp;Signature=fa7b306c571a0a3917b084985e7836b9b215e2bf\" width=\"506\" height=\"268\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Here\u2019s what you would learn:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Four pawns attack<\/strong>. White intends to push the f-pawn forward. Without hiding his intentions, he goes for it. Very sharp, and totally open position! Learn how to play it as Black.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Kingside attack in Samisch<\/strong>. Ponomariav, as Black, pushed the h-pawn forward against Tomashevsky. Was that a mistake? Or, the Nge5 move was a little dicey? Let Sieciechowicz tell you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Central lock in Petrosian<\/strong>. Learn how Kasparov went for a flank attack instead and rolled over White\u2019s king protection. Piece by piece, move by move\u2026 with a dark square bishop exchange.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Opposite castling<\/strong>. White usually goes for full-on action. Tough to handle when all those kingside pawns are heading towards your king. See how Nakamura does it against Rodshtein.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No central lock?<\/strong>\u00a0A tough position to handle\u2014the dark-square bishop gains control of the long diagonal but White is far ahead in development.
