So I want to start learning the KIA from scratch.

I know the basic nf3 g3 bg2 d3 is the first 4 moves you play. Anyone got good online resources or advice for playing this? Books?

I am pretty sure that there is a whole article devoted to KIA themes on the Exeter Chess Club web page, but I am too lazy to find it. 🙂 Angus Dunnigton has a good book on it that I own. It's probably reduced on Amazon.

I have the Starting Out : KIA book and it is quite good. However, I only use the KIA against the French, experience has shown me that it is pretty harmless against most other openings.
