✅15% Off Code: 15kings Good through end of January, 2022

The King's Indian Defense is a fun and exciting option for black against d4. In the course, I cover all main variations including, the Classical (main line) King's Indian, the 4 Pawns Attack, the Samisch, the Averbakh, and the Fianchetto (3.g3) variations. I also go over the Pirc Defense, and give you a system to play against the London. It is a complete opening repertoire with black. I talk about the ideas and concepts of the King's Indian, and how it is a great opening for beginners, as well as masters. I give practical opening advice and tips, practice exercises, and live gameplay where I talk through my thought process as I play the King's Indian.

Proves that people do really like polite, smart, normal guys who know their stuff. Well done on the 8million views.

[kruksog]

On the views: you absolutely deserve it. You might not think of yourself as "that special" but there's certainly something special about you. I think it's that you're a good teacher.

[EGAN]

Congratulations!
You teach well. The vast majority of players are bottom dwellers not GM’s so being able to teach us plebs is appreciated.

[GeorgeSmyth]

Well, you've got excellent content that we lower rated players can learn from, so it's not a big surprise to me.

Congrats on the eight million dude! You make your channel interactive with chess when you do the quizzes which makes it cool!

[AlexH]

Explaining the lines instead just saying “& with this position white is just winning” really helps newer players learn how to capitalize on good positions. Thank you!

[balmarsius]

Because your viewers see that you're a genuine person.

[YonyBear]

Awesome seeing how much this channel has grown! Great job improving your content with every video!

Here’s one thing I’ve noticed. Some players expect you to resign if you get down in material and get frustrated if you don’t. They lose focus and oftentimes you can catch up and even win. So I don’t resign unless my opponent has a big lead in both material and position. Just saying.

This is brilliant! The e5 instead of the c5 actually has a lot more charm than I've given it credit for. I've always found this move easier to play against with white than c5. An interesting lesson all the way.

Here is why I play c5:
- We can transpose to the Maroczy Bind Sicilian, a position every chess player must know.
- We can transpose to the Benoni, my usual way of playing against the fianchetto on g2 if white decides to play like that.
- c5 kinda discourages white to castle queenside, because in such Benoni-like positions the black pawn majority is often tough to deal with.

All in all, I find e5 more fun to play, but giving white more options. Still, if you're used to playing in one way and you feel like you're succeeding, why not keeping playing that way? Nevertheless, I will look into these ideas. I never knew of those possible knight sacrifices on e4.

With any luck you will very soon be celebrating 100, 000 subscribers. That's a pretty crazy number given how young your channel is.

[Apsyche]

You are special because you have a talent for teaching chess that is really rare.

[nonemo]

Hey, I'm happy for you! I think your channel brings some real value so your success is well deserved!

Nice 😂
