I can't get my grips on it. No matter what I do.... 😞
I'm willing to learn some stuff on the KID cause it seems the best response to me. So if you please can post some of your games and/or links with things to study please help me!

Originally posted by adam warlockI love to play d4 🙂 While playing black, my response to d4 would have been f5, trying to enter a Dutch system, but is has proven to be unreliable at times, so a simple d5, e6, or d5 then dxc4, accepting the gambit would be more appropriate... here are a few games illustrating the ideas behind d4.:

Good luck 🙂
Originally posted by adam warlockTry the Polish Defense. 1.d4 b5 2.e4 Bb7 3.Bd3. If 3.Bxb5, try 3...f5! Enter the Spassky Gambit! 4.exf5 Bxg2 5.Qh5+ g6 6.fxg6 Bg7 7.gxh7+ Kf8 8.hxg8=Q+ Kxg8! Hit the queen and go up in exchange. White wins four pawns and a knight while black wins two pawns and a rook. It's about an even position. The rest of the game is to be played out. 😏

Assuming your rating to be accurate, play d5, then e6, Nf6, Be7, 0-0, go from there and try not to drop any pieces.
Originally posted by tmetzlerGame 3241317 I'd rather play 2.e4 and transpose it to the French after 1.d4 e6 because I hate playing against the Dutch. I always play the Staunton Gambit after 1.d4 f5. 😵
roughly 90% of my games as black where I play 1..e6 against 1. d4 my opponent answers with 2. e4 and we get the french; fine by me....
The Staunton Gambit goes: 1.d4 f5 2.e4 fxe4 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.Bg5 Nc6! (d5?, 5.Bxf6! exf6 6.Qh5+ g6 7.Qxd5 Qxd5 8.Nxd5 and black is in a world of trouble). After 4...Nc6! 5.d5 Ne5 6.Qd4 Nf7 7.Bxf6 exf6 8.Nxe4 Be7 9.0-0-0 0-0. 😵
With 1. ...e6 2. e4 d5 you can really throw a d4 player out of his game at move two, as the French IS an e4 opening (downside: lots of French players use d4 as white.)
One principle that I like is: Give your opponent what they don't want, but don't hurt yourself doing it.
example: d4 players don't want a bloodbath, so I play the KID. e4 players want a tactical flurry, so I play the more positional Accelerated Dragon Sicilian.

I never play 1.d4, but since I had some problems with it I started playing it against some matches with Expert and Master players. The guys are killing me! 😲
I strongly recommend learning the Nimzo, it's pretty solid. The KID theory is absolutely HUGE, I mean the nimzo has it fair share of theory too but it's less complex IMO. I'm playing the albin against d4 myself for the past 2 or 3 months - which is good OTB, but I wouldn't recommend playing CC.
Originally posted by onyx2006I don't like the nimzo that much. The bishop pseudo pinning-white's night don't seem to cut it for me. KID has a lot of theory but that is the one i want to concentrate for now. It seems like the most reasonable response for black. Don't ask me why...

Some people said to transpose it to a french defense game. That seems to be a good idea, but playing the french as black doesn't call me that much.
Don't take me wrong on this one please!
