There are a variety of other tries as well, including lines where black plays an early Bf5 or Bg4, or adopts a kingside fianchetto. |
Since the black pieces are cramped on the queenside, and the kingside is open, action should be taken there. |
White has started his kingside advance, while Black has yet to create his own threats on the queenside. |
Much of the King's Indian is based on White having faith in his queenside play over Black's kingside chances. |
Black's plan is obviously to advance his kingside pawns, but he must do this carefully lest he weakens his king. |
It would really be wonderful if White could get the Bishop working against the Black kingside the whole game through. |
