      This. Im a beginner, but have been messing around with it without really understanding it (not intentionally, just trying to teach myself which isn't necessarily ideal) and this video blew my mind.
      It really captures just how versatile it truly is, and also shows why I've been having some trouble without any guidance; there's just so much to it, and it isn't all intuitive for a beginner. Having Danya explain these concepts in such detail is such a good resource. This didn't make me a better KID player; it made me a better chess player.

    52:11 I found this position fascinating, so I went through it with stockfish. Engine found here f5, and idea is if black takes with bishop you can bring out the knight safely. Also engine has several refuting options through the attack, and he estimates original position as equal.

    Just look at the board at the 6:36 mark of the video. White has all 4 minor pieces developed, and control of the center with 2 pawns on the 4th rank. Danya has only 2 pieces developed and no pawns on the 4th rank. By all accounts this favors white, but yet Danya demolishes him in the end.
