King's Indian Attack

3/3
1.Nf3d52.g3

A universal system where White fianchettoes and plays d3, Nbd2, e4 and a kingside expansion against almost any Black setup. It is a plan-based, low-theory opening ideal for players who like a repeatable attacking blueprint.

Key ideas
  • Set up the g3, Bg2, d3, Nbd2, e4 formation against most defenses
  • Expand and attack on the kingside with e5, Nf1-g3 and pawn pushes
  • Rely on a reusable plan rather than memorising theory
  • Aim the whole army at Black's king for a direct assault
