The Bayonet Attack is a line in the Classical KID. Here you go:

1. d4 Nf6
2. c4 g6
3. Nc3 Bg7
4. e4 d6
5. Nf3 0-0
6. Be2 e5
7. 0-0 Nc6
8. d5 Ne7
9. b4!?

I think Black is playing 9..Nh5!? nowadays. I dunno.

I think it's a good illustration of the way the opening develops and the patterns involved. If you notice towards the end of the middlegame I stage a bit of a breakout on the d,c and b files. I think this led to the pressure later on which won me the game.

You have nothing to be ashamed of in that game. It was a very tough game for me and I hate to think what would have happened if you had realised that my constant moving was an attempt to make you rush and slowed down.

Odd line. Why doesn't White play 7. de5?

It could be played but the position becomes less sharp and more symmetrical. If you're thinking white wins a pawn, he does not because of ...Nxe4 after white's Nxe5

Oh, thanks. The fianchetto Bishop/Knight stuff still confuses me.
