A Crushing Attack Against the King’s Indian

Fun story, this was the game that finally convinced me to stop playing the King's Indian (which I'd played almost exclusively for the 5.5 years up to this game).

I'd prepared this sideline with 12...Na6 from what was a recent NIC Yearbook Survey at the time. But after 13.g4 I wasn't at all comfortable with the position and that showed in the game.

That’s really interesting to hear, especially from someone who actually played the game. I just happened to stumble across this game in a database and thought it was too interesting not to share.

Interesting analysis! I'd immediately resign after seeing the wholesome Four Pawns Attack. I don't like the feeling of being attacked.
