SRY about topic name it should say e4, d5, c4 🙂
Hi all, im new to this site 😀 Im graded about 1050 and am the most eager in my club at school (im 14). I give up a lot of time for chess ad really want to be good.
Well with the KID i usually get into a tight position with a lot less space count than my opponent. For example (just made this up)
Something like that.
If i push e6, cant he just take and leave me with a backward e6 pawn? I dont know if i should give up KID and look for a better d4 defence.
Any help = thank you!!!
I find the KID intresting because of the fiancetto bishop on the kingside but the space also bugs me. Thats why i play the Nizmo-Bogo indian and try to put a pawn on e5 and d6 to get some room for me. I know the KID is good but theres lots of thoery behind it which you need to know. I only played the KID a couple of time so i don't no much but yes he can take the pawn when you play e6. e6 dxe6 fxe6 and try for a d5 push i guess.
Originally posted by Santa DrummerI find myself playing ...e5 and then ...exd4. I don't know if this is a good idea or not but at least it leads to positions where I have some idea what I am doing - attacking the e4 Pawn.

The position you showed is very interesting. The first thing I see as significant is the Pawn chain on c4, c5, d5 and d6. Nimozvich's My System discusses this Pawn formation in depth. The basic plan is for White to target the d6 Pawn and Black to target the c4 Pawn, starting with pushing e5 for White or ...b5 for Black.
Another pattern I see is the fianchetto around Black's King, and the White Bishop on h6 defended by the White Queen on d2. This pattern suggests to me that White should Pawn storm the Black position, but he should have castled on the other side to do that safely. White can pursue both his plans by throwing all his Pawns up on the Kingside (e through h) but this leaves his King open. It does however involve attacking along the center which tends to trump an attack on a flank (like Black wants to do).
I see that Black has a lot of power concentrated on e5 as well, but this is partially lessened by White's h6 Bishop which is attacking the fianchetto Bishop. One thing White could do to support playing e5 would be to play f5 first, which also attacks the fianchetto position, but opens up his Kingside.
If you push ...e6 (or ...e5, which I like better as a gut feeling) and White takes dxe6 then the e Pawn isn't the one that's the problem so much as the d Pawn which is on an open file. If this is the direction the game moves in you might want to try to push ...d5 (after 1...e6 2. dxe6 fxe6) possibly supported by ...Nf6. Not only would this strengthen your central position but it also lines you up for a Kingside attack of your own; your Queen will bear down on h2 once the d Pawn advances and your Knight will be able to pressure that square too after moving to g4.
There's a lot going on in this position and I find it very interesting. White may have an advantage or he may not; I am not sure.
