Hmm, the Fianchetto Variation is really complicated since both sides have so many options. But it's a really interesting variation so I'll have to see if I what I can do!
I'm not sure I understand? White develops more slowly in the King's Indian Defense than in other defenses, whereas Black actually develops pieces quite rapidly! But what do you mean?
@MrEmanuel1223 Thank you! In a little while I'll be doing a video on the Dutch but haven't decided yet whether or not to cover the Stonewall in it. I'll keep your suggestion to cover the Stonewall in mind! -Dereque
I can show these videos to beginners, and while they still might be a bit lost, they're able to get the general gist after one viewing. Chess theory can be very esoteric, but this video breaks everything down and derives each move, versus saying: "well that's just the way it is." It is always more important to understand "why," and not just "what." This video is a great example of effective teaching techniques, whether in the realm of chess or otherwise. Thank you Dereque.
Thank you so much for stopping by and leaving such a thoughtful comment! I'm really glad you enjoy the videos and evaluate them as high-quality. The suggestion about looking at more variations is noted :) Mostly I'm trying to keep it pared down so an essential lesson can shine through. -Dereque
And after the Bayonet Attack it would be nice to get some instruction on the Saemisch. I heard it was a very difficult variation for black to acheve good results. Keep up the good work.
I normally don't do a double comment but 500 characters is kind of limited when trying to describe such a well put together chess instructional video. Definitely top quality work here keeping chess relevant in the modern era while articulating the lessons flawlessly. You would think a free video would not be of such quality, but you can tell just from the way you present yourself that it is rhetoric that you know what you are talking about. Thanks for the effort put into these videos Dereque.
i think that what he means is that the indian defence you do amost the same moves, it doesnt have variety. I think its a great defence vs the english opening or the queens pown openning same as the nimzo-indian defence
@ 3:26 Would the move ... c5 by black be considered a pawn sacrifice? Because Na6 could be met by Na4, then maybe Bd7, but the knight on a4 would be defended by the queen. Also Nf3 would make it hard to attack the e5 pawn as well. Maybe I just didn't look deep enough into the position it seems?
This could be viewed as a temporary pawn sacrifice after 8.Nf3 c5 9.dxc5 Qxd1+ 10.Nxd1. But the pawns on e5 and c5 are so weak that it's impossible for White to hold them. Just 10...Nd7 would be enough but more accurate would be 10....Nc6! 11.Bf4 Nc7! with the idea of 12...Ne6. In any case, this is all kind of crazy for White :)
hi dereque, as you point out starting at 1:36 in the video, black cedes center control to white in this defense. engine analysis appears to show that black cannot overcome this disadvantage unless white makes a mistake. i am curious to know what you think of that. you can find my results online by googling "comparing chess openings part 3". thank you for all your opening videos. they are very professionally done and i find them very helpful.
Thanks! I checked out the abstract but did not download the complete paper. I believe Black is at a long-term disadvantage with "perfect play" by White, and thus it is a risky opening for Black. However, in practice, Black scores just about as well with the King's Indian as with the other popular alternatives that are more likely to bring equality or dynamic balance (Nimzo-Indian, Semi-Slav, Slav, Grunfeld).
Dereque Kelley good point. thank you dereque. i did address that issue in the last paragraph of the "conclusions" section. i should mention that i really enjoy your videos. you have a unique and very effective style of presentation.
on 7:59 I can't see the black's advantage. It's down a bishop vs. a pawn. Also, in 9:33 black's knight takes on e4, but it's taken by the white's one, hence, he's down a knight. I don't get the point...
wow... what a prompt reply!!!! I am indeed strongly considering the Semi-Slav and the Slav, sometimes transposing to a Semi-Slav from the Slav... I really appreciate your input! for myself personally, I do not care for giving up the center as often happens in the Grunfeld, and the Nimzo/Queen's Indian structures are not to my taste, while the Slavic structures very much are., Perhaps one day soon you will do a video on the Semi-Slav, which will be as outstanding as all your others!!!! Thanks!!!!
Oh my.. I was watching this video to get an idea of what positions I enjoy. Last night and I noticed that with openings like the english, closed scilian and french I noticed a few things at school and online I did better, I felt safe positionally with pawn chains and piece movement, finally i still retain the ability to play sharp and once im out of the book i do well in the middle game because I can evaluate the postions and calculate my position after the fireworks have settled
Ahh, I may have wanted to mention this move, but I do not think that White is better after 9...c5! The position is very sharp but I believe that Black has the advantage. I just now saw this comment! -Dereque
I'm still trying to understand this system, how do you respond as black if instead of 4 pawn setup by white, white instead has 2 bishops on c5 and f4 squares?
Quick question is it odd as a player I like to play more positional like the english with the white pieces and I love sharp openings like the french winawar variation and the scilian dragon. Also advice because in jaunary I will be active with the local chess club
Another great video, Dereque! I look forward to any other videos you might share with us on the KID. If I might suggest a possible topic, how about the Bayonet Attack and how to play against it as black? Thank you very much!
Hi Dereque, This was a wonderful video. Your videos are very professionally shot, and explanation is comprehensive. Definitely very helpful for a beginner like me. I had two doubts. Hope you can help. 1 - At 6:43, from what I can understand, white has two options - dxe5 or fxe5. You went for fxe5 in the video. Could you guide me about the follow up for dxe5 ? I am not able to see how that would be bad for white. Forgive my ignorance, as I am still a beginner. 2- At 6:48, after Black plays dxe5, what is wrong if White plays Nxe5 ? How would Black respond and capitalize on that ? I appreciate the help. Please keep making these informative videos :)
Advice: Have fun! Answer to is it odd: No I don't think so, but it wouldn't matter if it were odd of course. You say you like English with White and love sharp openings with Black. What's wrong with liking and enjoying? :)
Dereque, you have a great way of explaining the ideas behind the openings in a very simple and concise way. I always watch a few of your opening videos before tournaments. I hate studying openings, and I rarely memorize variations. However, your videos provide me with a good foundation for me to navigate these openings over the board and are a very efficient means of study! Please keep making them!
King Indian defense weak against four pawn openings because all white has to do is castle queenside instead of kingside, and this variation shown in video doesn’t always work with these specific moves ...
Is there a mistake in the analysis at 7:47? After White takes back with the knight and Bf5, White can play Nd2 instead of Bd3 and the pawn fork would not happen.
I am learning new openings as a 1900 uscf rated player, and prefer openings which are very complex and tactical like the Spanish and Sicilian, which I play from both sides. I am trying to decide on what to play as black vs. 1.d4. I am torn currently between the Slav and the KID. given my rating and style preference, do you have a recommendation? I would consider other openings as well of course.
Just jumping back into Chess for the first time since I was a kid. These videos all really have an easy to understand lesson in all of them. I definitely think you should take some extra time and go through with a few more variations on all these openings. If someone looking for chess advice gets bored from a 15+ minute video, then they clearly don't have the stamina for a battle of wits with a real GM as skilled as Dereque. But I'm sure you don't have all day to cover chess 101 with us all. Lol
Firstly, thank you Dereque for all you have taught me. Your videos are incredibly useful for beginner/intermediate players and you have helped my rating improve very rapidly on chess.com! My question is at 3:27 why is c5 so dangerous? If after c5 dxc5 and Qd8xQd1 (sorry if I don't know the proper notation) then nxd1 why is this so bad for white? Or am I missing something? I'My question may seem amatuerish but please take note that your videos have made me a much more proficient player! =) Your enthusiasm for the game and your dedication towards teaching are very admirable and you have kept me interested throughout my learning experience. I hope this message serves to inform you that you are of great value to a great many people.
after c5 dxc5 qxd1 nxd, there is bxe5 (the unguarded pawn) and not only is white's centre gone, but he lacks development and has weak doubled pawns on the c file ready to be attacked. Hope I helped :)
:) That's really great to hear, and thanks Kevin for adding some remarks. Keep in mind that after ...c5 dxc5 ...Qxd1+ Nxd1 White is very far behind in development. White's center which he has invested so much time in constructing is deteriorating and Black is already snuggly castled with a dark-squared bishop out. I would continue ...Nc6xe5 and ...Be6 or even an immediate ...Bg4 making Nf3 difficult (and Be2 ...Bxe2 Nxe2 leaves c4 still weaker after ...Nc6, ...Nxe5, ...Rc8 etc.) Also after Black restores the material balance with ...Nc6xe5 there is the strong possibility that he will emerge ahead a pawn after pressuring c5 as well. :)
when u sacrifised knight at Nf*e4.then bishop is pinning knight to queen.what if white plays Nfd2 instead of bishop d3 to protect the knight?then simply black loses a piece please kindly explain this
+Dereque Kelley Nxd4 Nxd4. Qh5+! g3. Qxd5 Qxd5. Bxd5 -/+. sir,mr shagglefire replied me this variation to my question.thank u for uploading great videos sir.i learned a lot from this video and i am constantly playing kings indian with good success.thank you
Yes!... , it is similar in that Black finachettoes on the kingside indeed! The Sicilian Dragon is a reply to 1.e4 and the strategic content tends to vary significantly as White does not advance his c-pawn to c4 and look for queenside chances (as in the King's Indian) but instead the c-pawn remains on c2 and can be used as a shelter for O-O-O and a rapid kingside assault.
Sean Joshua Alexander Castillo I have played the Sveshnikov in the past, but these days if I was going for the Sicilian I would try the Najdorf or Kan :)
It's called Castle. The king can move 2 square towards the rook and the rook will jump over the king on the kings first move only. You cannot castle through check, it has to be clear
I was reading your articles part i and partii on how to pick a chess opening, and you say to pick one thats more main stream. My question is do I pick one such as the english, and kings defense or should I focus on one for both attack and defensive moves? (beginner chess player).
The 4 pawns from white looks funny to me. looks like White is charging in ready to steam roll his opponent with that lol. As white, I sometimes play against the kings indian but I haven't tried pushing 4 pawns up. I usually get my other knight into play and fianchetto my bishop as well but I haven't studied up on this opening as much as I probably should and theres a lot of variations in the kings indian defense. Great video!!!
i have been trying to learn this opening but i cant get it. i think it is very counter-intuitive, when i try this i get completly lost and i have no idea what to do. nice video though and please make more videos on the king indian defense
Hello, Dereque, I have really benefited from your videos. I would really like to see your views on the Old Indian, if you are wondering what to do next. best wishes.
I have to laugh - I had forgotten about these articles! :-) I'm having some trouble interpreting the question you are asking but I will say that I no real general advice comes to mind. I can at least say that there are many approaches and as a beginning player almost everything you do to learn more can help you improve ... especially if you enjoy what you're doing! Best of luck
Congratulations for your willingness to take on complex and tactical openings! The Slav and/or KID could work quite nicely, though you will want to probably play the "Semi-Slav" and not the Slav Proper or 4...a6 Slav. Personally, I shy away from the KID since it is theoretically dangerous and many d4-players have a hobby of trying to study and beat the KID. There is also no shortage of complexity in the Nimzo-Indian or Grunfeld. So pick your poison! Is there anything further you'd like to know?
dereque I was wondering if you would recommend this opening to a player who is about 1450-1550 and is quite attacking and doesn't really like cramped positions.I would really appreciate your feedback thanks :)!
Dereque, you know what I love about you and your videos? You actually take time out of your busy schedule to actually answer your fan questions instead of telling us to go fire up Houdini or Rybka like "some" channels. You have no clue how much it means to me that you address me personally. Also Dereque, I started out a 1200 player, I have improved to 1600 and I dedicate it your videos. Thank you so much Dereque and keep up the fantastic work! :3
+Dereque Kelley I am a bit confused about 3:07, where black can ignore the pawn push threat after castling. It makes sense to relocate the knight to e8 after castling. But if white foregoes pushing his f pawn before attacking the knight, black won't have time to castle and I can't find a suitable home for the knight after that. The best squares for him is on h5 and d7. But d7 blocks the queen and the bishop, and I don't like h5 since a knight on the rim is grim. I'd really appreciate some help here. I love this opening, but I still don't understand it.
hi dereque, i love your videos. i'm trying to learn chess and they are super helpful! i'm just curious... at about 8:00 you have black playing F3 challenging the white B. it seems like white comes out ahead at least in terms of material. if white manages to castle is blacks position that much better than whites without the extra bishop?

I love how you explain the concepts rather than just listing square numbers. Thank you!
Thank you for the suggestion, 5.Nf3 is most popular and definitely important to look at if one intends to play this as Black
Its amazing, how good you can describe the moves!
Finally someone, who reveals, why GM's are doing the moves, they do.
Keep up the awesome work!
@MrEmanuel1223 Thank you! In a little while I'll be doing a video on the Dutch but haven't decided yet whether or not to cover the Stonewall in it. I'll keep your suggestion to cover the Stonewall in mind! -Dereque

Is there a version of this without white doing the four pawns attack?
on 7:59 I can't see the black's advantage. It's down a bishop vs. a pawn. Also, in 9:33 black's knight takes on e4, but it's taken by the white's one, hence, he's down a knight. I don't get the point...
In both cases, Black will regain the minor piece, look more closely!! :)

@James Curry: Thank you!
And although it seems quite defensive I was interested in the opening because it has really nice counterplay
Ahh, I may have wanted to mention this move, but I do not think that White is better after 9...c5! The position is very sharp but I believe that Black has the advantage. I just now saw this comment! -Dereque
It is Black's move at 2:25!
You're welcome and thank you
I'm still trying to understand this system, how do you respond as black if instead of 4 pawn setup by white, white instead has 2 bishops on c5 and f4 squares?
very good i enjoyed your vid could you do something on the stonewall thanx
could you make a video on how to play against the fienchetto variation please.
The Bayonet Attack sounds great, I'll note this suggestion! Thank you for the kind words :) -Dereque
Quick question is it odd as a player I like to play more positional like the english with the white pieces and I love sharp openings like the french winawar variation and the scilian dragon. Also advice because in jaunary I will be active with the local chess club
Great videos Dereque. Well explained and very useful. And like the catchphrase: 'Let's take a look!'
Awesome! I think this ...e5 sac is a great idea, I'm glad it worked out so well for you :) -Dereque
Thanks, I'm glad to hear!
This is a simple, excellent and clear intro the basic KID ... best I’ve seen.. Thanks.
Thank you, I very much appreciate this! :)
Another great video, Dereque! I look forward to any other videos you might share with us on the KID. If I might suggest a possible topic, how about the Bayonet Attack and how to play against it as black? Thank you very much!
Ten years later, I still enjoy refreshing my KID fundamentals with your phenomenal content :) Thanks!
these are great informative videos keep making them and keep rollin.
I wish to know about continuation [5.Nf3]
Wonderful presentation! Question though, at 9:33 you show black Kn takes pawn E4. What prevents white Kn C3 to E4 and capture black Kn?
...Bxe5 would work here :)
Hi Dereque,

@ 6.50 you forget that white can take with the knight on f3--->> white´s better
How would one prevent/respond to a white putting a knight on G5?

On 3.11 what if c5 it'll strike an attack on pawn structure and it will weaken the kingside right?
Do you mean f5? c5 can be met with ...dxc5 followed by ...Qxd1+ with an advantage to Black!
Im begginer at chess but am i right that this line looks similar to Sicilian Dragon.. mostly in king side with moves like fiancheto bishop etc. ??
Yes!... , it is similar in that Black finachettoes on the kingside indeed!

Just played my first match with the KID and I utterly destroyed the guy. Albeit, he did say he was stoned. lol Thanks for the video!
That was me.... I was stoned! I don't play chess well when I'm stoned...Oh wait, I'm always stoned...
Can you explain why he Eat the pawn in d5. Because i think that is a free. IM beginner IM Just aking thnk you
Hmmm, I was wondering, what's you favorite variation of Sicilian?
Sean Joshua Alexander Castillo I have played the Sveshnikov in the past, but these days if I was going for the Sicilian I would try the Najdorf or Kan :)
What is his chess set?
why can the king and castle move like that? the rules say castle can't jump pieces? and the king moves 2 spots as a 1 spot mover I'm not sure why.
do you find any answers yet?
It's called Castle. The king can move 2 square towards the rook and the rook will jump over the king on the kings first move only. You cannot castle through check, it has to be clear

Why is d4 more sensitive than e4?
Its the easier for Black to concentrate his forces upon in this position:)

You are awsome! Thanks for the lesson!!!!
dereque I was wondering if you would recommend this opening to a player who is about 1450-1550 and is quite attacking and doesn't really like cramped positions.I would really appreciate your feedback thanks :)!

+Bart van den berg Greetings from USA, thank you!!
Dereque! do you think that kings indian defense is the best response to d4?
Nope, Nimzo-Indian!
Dereque, you know what I love about you and your videos? You actually take time out of your busy schedule to actually answer your fan questions instead of telling us to go fire up Houdini or Rybka like "some" channels. You have no clue how much it means to me that you address me personally. Also Dereque, I started out a 1200 player, I have improved to 1600 and I dedicate it your videos. Thank you so much Dereque and keep up the fantastic work! :3
Pls make more videos you are good.
+Storm Shadow :) Thanks, that's great to hear :)
+Dereque Kelley I am a bit confused about 3:07, where black can ignore the pawn push threat after castling. It makes sense to relocate the knight to e8 after castling. But if white foregoes pushing his f pawn before attacking the knight, black won't have time to castle and I can't find a suitable home for the knight after that. The best squares for him is on h5 and d7. But d7 blocks the queen and the bishop, and I don't like h5 since a knight on the rim is grim. I'd really appreciate some help here. I love this opening, but I still don't understand it.
thanks dereque
Hi what's name of that nice looking chess set?
Tj527 Not sure :)
How is it that black wins a piece back? He's still down a piece....??
Dreadpirate Snuffles First and Last of his name His down a piece then hes wins it back by winning one of whites pieces.
If Bishop goes to d3, black forks with e4.
Bishop to b5 to atack the queen

What about it? -Krishna, formerly known as Dereque Kelley

nothing, I either wanted to study the position further or use a timestamp of where I wanted to continue watching this video.
But nobody responds this way online and every thing is fucked up

fosejl Thank you!
hi dereque, i love your videos. i'm trying to learn chess and they are super helpful! i'm just curious... at about 8:00 you have black playing F3 challenging the white B. it seems like white comes out ahead at least in terms of material. if white manages to castle is blacks position that much better than whites without the extra bishop?
5:00
?
really helpful...i was preparing for a white player who plays an agressive 4 pawns player.... I smashed him with this e5 sac!!! thanks for evertthing
