Sep-06-09  TrollKing: 23. Qh1!? Not the best move in the position (according to Rybka 3), but damn close -- as far as raw eval goes. But the sheer psychological value of this move must have been pure money!
Sep-06-09  whiteshark: I couldn't agree more, <TrollKing>.
Sep-10-09  DiscoJew: Its so rare to see a mating attack vs the KID work in high level chess...

6.h3 is a very strong variation and one of my personal favorites, worthy of study for any white looking for a winning weapon vs the KID. I remember Radjabov playing this way when having to play against his pet defence and look for an advantage. 23.Qh1 is a very sexy move, and I recall hearing that this is the rarest square on the whole chess board for a Queen to appear on, which gives this attack all the more beauty.

Taking Riazantsev's Rook leaves Black helpless on the King-side with weak Black squares and with his pieces all off-side too far away from his vulnerable King.
