| Jan-13-15 | | Marmot PFL: Really surprised that white (Radjabov) lost this game. A case of giving up too much to win the queen, but I guess black was already winning. |

| Jan-13-15 | | luzhin: That's a great KID g7 bishop, simultaneously the King's solitary (but sufficient) defender, and also playing a key role in the final attack: after 41.Kxd2 Rxa2+ 42.Ke3 Re1+ White can't play Kd4 and after the forced 43.Kf4 Rxf2+ wins everything. |

| Jan-13-15 | | Shams: White players don't seem to have an answer for 7...Nh5 in this line yet. Compare: P Cramling vs Navara, 2014 |
|
| Jan-13-15 | | fisayo123: I think it's safe to say Ding Liren is now the biggest expert in the KID in world chess. |

 | | Penguincw: There goes Radjabov's draw and unbeaten streak. On the "bright side", his winless streak stretches to 20 games. |
|
| Jan-13-15 | | Ulhumbrus: 6 h3 moves a pawn in the opening.
If White is looking for the cause of defeat his sixth move may be the explanation. |

| Jan-13-15 | | Whitehat1963: <<Shams>: White players don't seem to have an answer for 7...Nh5 in this line yet. Compare: P Cramling vs Navara, 2014> Isn't the answer 8. Nh2, as found here?

| Jan-13-15 | | docbenway: Ulhumbrus6 "h3 moves a pawn in the opening.
If White is looking for the cause of defeat his sixth move may be the explanation." To label a standard move in the E90 KI a cause for this loss is just base ignorance. It's compounded by the fact that nothing in the game would lead one to make such a conclusion. |

 | | tpstar: Note the E71 Makagonov 5. h3 has one of the highest winning percentages for White = Opening Explorer This game was a tough battle. |
|
| Jan-14-15 | | shatranjkekhiladi: Why Rajdabov did not play 29. Ne7!! instead of 29.Qh6. which could have won the game for White. Can anybody clarify ? |
|
| Jan-14-15 | | siggemannen: <shatranjkekhiladi> cause 29. Ne7 Kh7 looks good for black? |
|
| Jan-14-15 | | Honey Blend: 26. b3 seems to be a more solid defense, although Radjabov might have avoided it for fear of weakening his dark squares. |

 | | perfidious: <u: 6 h3 moves a pawn in the opening. If White is looking for the cause of defeat his sixth move may be the explanation.> Patent, irresponsible rubbish--this line is perfectly playable for White. If <AylerKupp> reads this and queries my response to another of <u>'s um, kibitzes, this is simply one more reason why..... |
|
| Jan-14-15 | | goldenbear: Personally, I would blame 5.Nf3. I've never cared for it... |
|
Jan-14-15
| | perfidious: <goldenbear> Mighta bin all them there pawn moves before 6.h3 that set back White's cause some as well--y'know, 1.d4, 2.c4 and 4.e4 did put a lot out there, after all. Maybe <u> believes moving only one's knights will win a game one day.....no weaknesses created thereby 'n all that..... One of the silliest comments I have seen from <u>, which is saying something. |

| Jan-15-15 | | SpiritedReposte: Radjabov beaten in his pet Kings Indian Defense!
I know I dislike playing against openings I employ. |
|

| | perfidious: <Spirited> In the first half of the 1990s, I should have found myself in a curious psychological position--for I took up the KID as Black after having made practically a career of beating it. Managed to do fairly well, though, on the whole. |
|
| Jan-23-15 | | The Rocket: It makes absolutely no sense but playing against your own openings is very uncomfortable. |
|
| Oct-29-15 | | st.dvy: Textbook execution from start to finish by Ding. The K.I.D is very rich. I just wish I played it better. Bravo Ding!!! |
