Attacking Chess #2 - King's Indian Attack

[tijuanamarisol666]

It's actually pronounced "A night in 'Too-'Nee-jha"

[ArmorKingRulez]

12:32

That a fucking Chessgasm indeed.A fucking forkfest.

[Hereson0]

Warning: Chessgasm after 12:32 minutes.

[0archbishop0]

[chedspellman]

Thanks!

My favorite bit of commentary (after Qh5 at 24:51): "And I don't know what Fischer's opponent was thinking, but I'm pretty sure Bobby Fischer was thinking, 'Hello, I'm Bobby Fischer. I'm coming to Checkmate you!'".

[tanukitejon]

Bobby Fisher was a genious.

[MMAharaja]

Thanks for the chessgasm!

[atzalas]

jrobi, your videos are a fantastic resource to a developing player like myself. I'm a 30 year old who has really just started studying, and just seeing how Fischer developed his pieces and what he saw showed me many things that I should be looking for. Thank you so much for your videos...I've seen 4 so far and will watch and re-watch again.

[derpherp143]

Nice video. I'm starting to get back into chess again.

:)

[BugzLooney]

These videos are so insightful

[Raudzian]

12:08 bishop h6 and the background of this move just blew my brain out ;)

[TheBackyardProfessor]

Nice vids jrob..... quite instructive and fun to watch.

[MartinTheWarrior27]

Hello. My name is Bobby Fischer. You captured my pieces. Prepare to die.

[frank124c]

great vids!

[NuklearStarcraft]

I'd know I commented on one of the other vids already, but I just wanted to say thanks again for making such awesome videos. The king Indians attack is my favorite opening of all time for white, simply for how it divides the board in the beginning, in a diagonal rather than the straight gridlock. But as you said, thats due to the increased queenside development for black. :) I love the videos!

[cagethug]

jajajajaajaj chessgasm!!!!

[skorpiotudor]

hahahahha @ hello.i'm Bobby Fischer.I'm coming to checkmate you =)) awesome line

[ukspartan7]

Dude..great videos! You shud have a show on TV :)

[alkor33]

tahnx man you really explain...thx

[andyroo2540]

9:12 "Irregardless..." lol is that a word?

[MisterBoneman]

YES!

You've just answered my question, J Robi, You D'MAN!

on your site are more,,,

[ashwins1982]

i dont wanna ruin the commentary...but once white plays d4 its no kings indian attack anymore

[FuckThisSiteNow]

i had a mean chessgasm last night.

[Kapow3000]

Haha...chessgasm!

[roloninja1996]

at 27:06 couldn't white have just done a knight fork on d6

[cacpotify]

@roloninja1996 Never! Doing that black would take the queen with the pawn, and if white takes back the queen with the knight, the rook can capture the knight and suddenly white has two less pieces to attack and is down a FULL 3 point piece. Qg5 maintains the pressure, maintains the fork option and wins.

[bertl51]

At 18:19, what if black takes e4: if white doesn't take, the structure is lost and black is one pawn ahead. if white does take the knight after the pawn exchange: black exchanges queens, making it impossible for white to castle, while he developps his bishop and castles (and one pawn ahead)....? Still i love to play KIA and most players do not take the pawn. Anyway, thanks for your videos. Chessgasm was hilarious.

[normemma]

Great Video! Very instructive.....but,

It's "regardless" or "irrespective," not "irregardless"

take care

[arb5182]

epic chessgasm

[bloodcumulus]

King's Indian Attack has decreased in popularity last decades... so what is the most popular nowadays?

[ublade82]

>irregardless

[MoPar7055]

I almost pissed myself when I saw that chessgasm

[buzzman104]

BTW jrobi, you are a gentleman, thank you for posting these, my question is, if as black, you notice the King's Indian attack coming, a) is it viable to play the Kings Indian defence and b) should you consider castling on the Queen's side to slightly weaken the effectiveness of the King's side attack? Or will that not work? Thanks for your videos.

[buzzman104]

Bahahaha that made me lol hardcore.

[Darkblaze10k]

We need more CHESSGASMS!

[poisonedheart666]

Great videos. After watching the first one and the first half of this one I played a quick 15 min. patzer game with the KIA for the first time. After 10 moves I had transpositioned to Fischer's game with an extra move(before I watched that half of the video). After some mutual patzer blunders in the middle-game I cashed in with a mating attack on my opponents king in similar style to the Fischer game. Needless to say, I'm hooked! After 1+ yrs with the English w/o success, I'm a convert to KIA!

[KnightInFire]

Make a video of Indian Attack vs the Sicillian varieties. :D

[thargor2k]

It seems to me that @~4:50 you made a slight mistake: It's not the knight f3 that is preventing the bishop to access g5, but bishop c1. But doesn't really change the important points you are describing there...

[Ariel1Dominguez]

jrobi, you are the king of chess channels in youtube

:)

[eyeyey14]

Nice video, I think I learned something ;)

[xrty777]

fantastic

[jm3sb0nd007]

Excellent commentary, subscribed!

[RAdamusNost]

CHESSGASMMM!!!!

[jkid1134]

The second game felt almost disjointed. It really didn't feel like Fischer was playing with his opponent; it felt like two different games on one board.

[NemesisGR21]

Nice attack by fischer but black made a lot of bad moves.He should play f6 early on and get rid of that pesky pawn.Or play h6 later to stop the knight from coming to g4.

[UnforgivingCritic]

Bobby Fisher -> King's Indian Attack..

Jrobichess -> CHESSGASM Sicilian.

[jonoderidder]

nice vid. (sorry to be pedantic, its a pet peeve of mine, but there's no such word as "irregardless". It's "regardless" or "irrespective".)

[Sherigami]

at 26:40 why are those moves forced?

[adamsavage24]

can you please make a video with queen's fianchetto and variations?btw good video :)

[HolyHolcomb]

Chessgasm!!! What a killer move.

[garui]

Very helpful video. Thanks !

[garui]

It was very good. thanks for the video.

[IgnerantOne]

Thanks for the excellent video bro!

[MarioNistri]

About the bad Bf6, what about pushing in e5?

[44percentburnt]

in the second game, black could force a queentrade in the opening, taking white rockading-options away, I surely would play that if I'd face Fisher..

[cubaestilo]

very good my friend ....i have been watching almost all videos ,,and they are good [thx so much,, i really hope that you wont stop doing it !

[LiiChinHo]

At 2:45 what if they do something aggressive like c5.

[Annelise2125]

thanks for upload

[JerrydBayless1]

it really doesnt help, when u say it was played by fisher LOL JK XD

[seckcjohn]

CHESSGASMM !! :D

[MultiGumbo]

Who is fischer playing against?

[frank124c]

another great vid--luv the ending of the fischer game--brilliant bobby fischer!

[scottvillepimp]

chessgasam loooolz that crazy

[jandobber]

thank you so much.

[NumbFlynn]

I chessgasmed multiple times watching this video.

[MikeRules12346]

Can you post more of your own games because I really enjoyed watching those from your beginning days of playing!

[paged42]

great second game.

[mielord21]

i like your instruction about "trading a material in exchange of a good position" it really helps me a lot!

[rclxor]

Man, that was an awesome game from Fischer.

[noncomputeruser]

this is really useful. Thanks for this.

[BlackOPsOwnage36]

lovely game black coulda tryed to when king was on f4 and rook behing tryed to skewer i thinks its called anyway nice vid m8

[lazlar]

Love the videos jrobi , I hope you will post some on d4 openings , both for white and black.

[gibsonrulezz]

you rock dude. I would like to play with you :D

[tobuslieven]

Yeah this is a great vid. Really enjoying all the analysis. I'm going through all your vids and enjoying them more and more as I go : D

[Desiways]

Indians are really awesome ..they created the great game of all time!!

[poisonedheart666]

@Desiways Actually, it was the Chinese.

[cacpotify]

@poisonedheart666 you don't know that Desiways.

[DrRaze]

@Desiways Actually it was Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis. It was created in the 3 territories but people take it as an Indian "invention" because it has more land and economical power :)

[tufosanta]

if on 20:00 black plays Qc7 threatening the pawn on e5? u defend it with Qe2? or u simply sacrifice it to gain i dno a better attack on the king side?

[Larravok]

@tufosanta Yes you defend it with Qe2.In no way you can sacrifice this pawn its the reason White can attack on the kingside.I suggest you John Emms book on the KIA.Qc7 isnt well placed at all. Because after standardmoves by white like Nf1 Bf4 Ne3 white threatens to sacrifice a piece on d5(though he will regain it back).I started to play KIA too and i have to say John Emms book is very good.It expalins alot more things(ofcourse this video is awesome) for example why a3 is a strange but good move

[naanbutter]

Awesome buddy...true ly good work



[Angk0rwat]

I'm confused. at 18:21, why does black play c5 rather forcing the queen trade with the uncastled king?

[JuUmy69]

at 9:05, cant black just play his knight on c5?

[monkey1506]

out of curiousity were you a competent beginner who would win alot, just beginning and find playing online quite daunting gd vids dude

[iruiz8]

Who doesnt love a nice chessgasm

[kunsusake]

india is cool ..

they invented the chess ...

i love chess

[robertbertstar]

eazy game

[Oneantman]

So at 25:51 when white moves the queen to h5 is there anything black could do with those 3 pawns on the 7th (i.e. move to h6) that would stop white from the checkmate? And if so, would white then sac the bishop by taking the pawn on h6 and then retake with the queen? That's where I get in trouble, knowing when to sac bigger pieces for pawns.  Thanks

[HandyTheXxxX]

Oh my, Chessgasm!

[thestew56]

1. Kf3 has been my move for a few years now. I find it interesting that Fischer used the KIA. Here, he does not open with Kf3 though. Great vid....CHESSGASM! :)

[cpigusch]

at 15:59 into the vid the white king moves to 3h at this point couldn't the black castle move to 4h providing a checkmate? Since the castle would then dominate all of h from 4 down and the other castle on e2 prevents the king from moving down. However im not sure if kings can check other kings so if that is not the case then of course the castle to 4h would be pointless.Can someone answer that?

[MadSnowmen]

when you mentioned if black were to take the pawn could black have moved his knight on d7 to c5 protecting the pawn in the process?

[beluemma]

Great man, thanks!!! I try to analyze these games but I just can't understand the moves yet. Thanks for doing such a great job going move by move.

[beluemma]

Great man, thanks!!! I am trying to get to where I can analyze these games, I just can't understand them yet, so thanks for helping explain them, move by move.

[chrisccan]

very good job

[petskup4]

What is ranking in Yahoo chess games?

[ekajmiller]

My gosh, 28:19 chessgasm.

Great video man!

[LimesNorrlandicus]

2:35 "youre really not creating any weakness from white's perspectve *unintentionally pointing at e4*" ROFL

[p3freako]

CHESSGASM LOL

[oldman1153]

lol thats the second chessgasm ive seen from your videos today :)

[jackRB54]

Never thought that there was a possible move to attack 4 pieces at once. That is what you call a fork-and-a-half.

[FeLessard]

Hey, I've never understood why in the king's indian attack white brings his b1 knight to d2 instead of to c3, anyone care to explain?

[theunbeatenable]

@FeLessard because it is defending the pawn on e4.

[FeLessard]

@theunbeatenable Yes but kc3 also defends the pawn

[theunbeatenable]

@FeLessard but at Nc3 it blocks the c pawn and if the knight goes to d2 then it also gives the knight on f3 another defender. If black plays bxf3 then white can capture back with the knight and black has gained no advantage for trading off its light squared bishop for i knight. It also gets the knight more toward the king side. btw this is just a guess i really dont know for sure.

[FeLessard]

@theunbeatenable Makes sense thanks

[dickydog1000]

thank you, I found this really instructive and will watch any others you have with interest

[masterffp77]

Fisher's indian attack was so letal and awsome sax. Great video keep it coming.

[biasedreferee]

thx for this! Love Fishers game, really enjoyed that one. Very good analysis though!

Keep up the good work mate!

[KobraStryke]

Great stuff guy! Keep up the good work. Thanks for the clarity. I've recently added the KIA to my opening arsenal, and your videos have helped.

[ipwnnubsftw]

i love your videos! CHESSGASM!

[CTPNBiff]

Ok, this has been really been bothering me ever since I first saw this video. At 13:37 why did white (Radjabov) not move his g3 pawn up to g4, instead of attacking the bishop on f3? If he had moved the pawn up, there would have no counter move for black to protect the bishop after the white queen takes it, because otherwise Aronian would just be carelessly giving up a bishop AND a queen. The best move that black would have made if the pawn went to g4 is move to h6.

[CTPNBiff]

@CTPNBiff

Alternatively as well, the black queen still could have taken the pawn at h4, but Adronian still would have loosed a bishop no matter what, and the game would have ended that much quicker.

[BrutalTruth1]

Well done! It was well worth watching (and by inference well worth your putting together).

[aLeonDegiuamelle]

damn that fischer game was awesome i'll definately try out the kings indian attack

[TheLorax11]

In the bobby fischer game, why did white move his bishop at 27:56? And also, why didnt white's queen just move to h6 at 27:09? Great video

[Valentin0zzzz]

@TheLorax11 I suppose coz black's queen can go to f8 and its kinda wasting a move... since black's queen would be in a better position

[shoryukenST]

Great analysis, I thoroughly enjoyed watching the video!

[METALLICAa7xOZZY]

what if at 9:05 white instead played Bxd5 ? that move has a lot of possibilities as well

[dreamtheater39]

great video jrobi! loved the fischer game...brilliant stuff!

[icywater101]

During the Bobby Fischer game, after the move g6, why not an immediate push with Qh6 from white?

[Chewy427]

rofl chessgasm

[legendkilla9x9]

jrobi, lmao bro "CHESSGASM!" haha i almost pissed myself hahaaha but in all seriousness this is a veryyyy dynamic opening, lots of options... id say perfect play is a definite win for white.

[jakematters]

No.. At 9:15.. Doesn't really matter anyways..

Great job with this whole series, man!

[jakematters]

Good stuff.. "Irregardless" isn't a word..(9:30)

[ron5paul08]

sorry you moron, it is a word

[jakematters]

Regardless of what you say, "irregardless" is not a word. It's a nonstandard adverb. If moron Americans keep spelling "your/you're" as "ur", then that will eventually be added to the nonstandard list of the english language too.. Being a Ron Paul fan, I thought you'd know better..

[jakematters]

So what's it going to be? Are you going to defend that "ur" is a word in order to satiate your inflated ego and fractional intelligence? Did you see R.Paul won the straw poll at CPAC? He would have destroyed Obama if Fox News hadn't have shut him out of the election last year.. Like you; they'll learn..

[legendkilla9x9]

im pretty sure he just messed up the pronounciation, he is making a video so he's talking you through everything. stop being a douche.

[jakematters]

Excuse me for upholding a standard. After all, affirmative action doesn't allow everybody to advance for achieving sub-standard levels of qualification. Don't be the catalyst for ignorance. Besides, "pronunciation" doesn't apply to written words. You either spell it right, or you don't. Your name-calling nature is laughable anyways.

[Cybrow]

"your name-calling nature is laughable anyways." hahaha i hope you talk like that in real life.

[richiekock]

Jrobiness: are you a master at all...? what is your ranking dude?

[jrobichess]

Nope - just started a few years ago. No official ranting yet, though I plan on starting some OTB tournaments this year. Thanks for checking out the vid!

[maddenwh]

@jrobichess Fantastic videos. You go into great detail and explain the significance and consequences of both book lines and erroneous moves. Only suggestion; use "regardless" instead of "irregardless." :) Sorry, english major and law school get the better of me.

[EpiphoneArchtopLover]

@richiekock Based on his analysis - I'd have a stab at maybe 1900-2100. I'm rated just under 2100.

[CubeThink]

what is the intro song?????crystal method?

[jrobichess]

Nope - it's my own - thanks for checking out the vid!

[phliper220]

funny at 12:32

[peaceflowercox]

this is one of your best videos 8)

[jrobichess]

Thanks Peace!

[saxcrazy89]

LOL! Chessgasm, I don't think this vid was boring at all...they really help with my game. Thanks for the post

[jrobichess]

Thanks for checking it out Sax!

[DariusDaGreat86]

wow amazing. I love these classic matches

[dustball3010]

great game

[CosmiconOne]

Boby Fischer's game presenter here really demonstrate the dynamics and the "infinite horizons" of chess. I mean, one may think that chess is an inevitable close-framed, continuous one-arena head-to-head battle, but Fischer proves here that setting a crushing strategy in mind, almost regardless of the opponent's plans, can create an undisputed favored position which will eventually deliver the end purpose: Checkmate.

[CosmiconOne]

presented*

[felren13]

okay,

i love your description.

i hate what i always hate about nearly everyone who does this,

and that is, its boring!

do you have any movie directors you love?

if you do, see if you can take cues from what you love about their movies and see how you can use this in your approach to these games.

[edward892]

I like this....the queen should always attack the enemy.

[ArseneLupin2009]

and to be submissive to her own King

[edward892]

@ArseneLupin2009 absolutely.

[drugaddict1235]

coffee, great suggestion. thanks

[MultiChessplayer]

24:56, it´s so funny!

[imsoccerplayer]

is there anything that can defeat the king's indian attack

[yellowcakeur]

a night or knight in Tunisia?

[AwNNeR]

I think that's the pun. :D

[musttrust]

you are not bobby fisher you died i think

[eschrick7]

Helloooo Im bobbi fischer im coming to check mate you

... classic

[Sn3pshot]

Amazing Game, very very good analysis... am watching all your vids, thank you so much for these vids ;)

[luch0o01]

great video hope to see more in the future

[Aleneden]

Hey jrobichess, could you help me...I Know about three or four Indian styles. Played by White there is the Neo Queen's and King's Indian attack. Then for black there is the Nizmo, and the Bogo Indian defenses and i would like the know them all, but there is so few videos on these chess moves. So could you maybe make a video or sending a link that could lead me to these attack.

[KaleKoppies]

Nice video again!

[nickkatahdin]

irregardless of Radjabov's moves irregardless is not a word.

[jrobichess]

Yes it is a word- thanks for checking out the vid!

[drakeghoul2]

It is a word, but it is generally listed in dictionaries as "incorrect" or "nonstandard". The reason being the unnecessary prefix.

[jrobichess]

Check Websters - it's here to stay. =)

[drakeghoul2]

Even Websters discourages its use: "Its reputation has not risen over the years, and it is still a long way from general acceptance. Use regardless instead."

Additionally, the prefix ir- combined with the suffix -less produces a double negative. Which is discouraging all on its own.

Great video, by the way.

[djfinnphilly]

@drakeghoul2 you could also use irrespective...the 'word' came out of crossing irrespective and regardless...and props for understanding grammar.

[rockmanmegamanfan]

Jrobichess , I know I'm not good at chess but at then end cant white just take the g6 pawn , f7 recaptures , queen takes f7 defended by rook checkmating the king? Or , white take g6 pawn , h7 recaptures , and Queen can just come out h7 or h8 defended by rook checkmating king ? That can happen right?

[shiryu008]

very well explained.

[jrobichess]

Thanks for checking it out Shiry!

[kl1172]

chessgasm, lol

[jrobichess]

hehe thanks for checking it out K!

[teogialigous]

excellent job jrobi!keep up the good work!!!!

[jrobichess]

Thanks T!

[Hexxor1985]

Maybe I'm missing something, but at 13:08, can't white protect the Bishop and the Knight by Bishop h6 - e3?

[gruvawn]

loses to BxN, BxB, QxB.
