Yea let's go King's Indian HYPE!! 6...e5 was decent. Bologan really likes 6...Nc6, as the whole Bd3 line leaves d4 weak. Black may follow with ...e5 when ...Nd4 is not uncommon. Black may even emphasize this with an early ...Nh5 (even before ...e5) to have the dark squared bishop hit d4 too.
i know what the engine says, but if u check the theory and lines very deep, black is equalizing in the absolute main line (if only here) in all the white tries objectively speaking for sure except in 9 Ne1, 9 b4, (and 7 d5 maybe) this is debatable. practically speaking remembering the details to any number of sidelines is not easy for players on either side. robin's (van kampen) series for c24 is quite good on derailing the non-critical lines for white.
elvenbread191 I believe it. I think there's a reason why the King's Indian doesn't score incredibly well, though. It's a difficult opening to play; Black needs to possess a great memory and be a skilled counter-attacker.
i think white really is better tho a bit with the dark squared bishops off and white uncastled. when white is castled kingside and with f3 f4 inserted unless white is making rg1 and g3 going quickly black is fine.
Nice game John, nice play to keep his bishop ineffective and the endgame was just crushing, awesome to watch!
Ben Evolent Thanks, Ben!
TYVM for this KID. It has been a long time coming :)
Nice positional play John! Never thought it could get this much interesting. Very instructive. I've learned a lot now. Thanks for uploading. :)

Connor Quinn Thought you'd like this one, Connor :D Hope you're having a good time at Stanford.

I want to see more people plah the king's indian 😂 I'm trying to pick it up now
Check Daniel Naroditsky's videos if you haven't already - he is the King's Indian master!
@@JohnBartholomewChess yup he's the one who convinced me to play it 😂 I've gotten a few books on it too to check out soon

elvenbread191 Possibly. I underestimated the strength of g2-g3 to some degree.
btw, with the dark squared bishop off, u really do not want to allow white to go f4.
Why were you planning on Rg2 after Be2? Rg1 seems to win a lot faster I think
JayLue Yes, it does. ...Rg2 just seemed like the natural move to me :) Defends h2 and attacks along the second rank.
Thanks John, thought I was blind there for a second ;)
John, you did not play 4... 0-0!!
Robert Hulsman Haha, I thought briefly about it :)
Hi, 15min game is too slow, especially against a low rating players
I respectfully disagree. Moreover, if you think this time control is too slow you can check out the hundreds of blitz and bullet videos I've posted.
