    I unironically do that (minus knight chuck flex) because im too focused on how to open up kings position when i have my attacking pieces aimed at him

    You did well on Game 3 until the Ndc5 flexing shenanigans. But turns out White defended super well because of some engine assistance. The account is banned right now. Anyways, even tho I stopped playing KID many years ago, I learned a lot from this. Thanks! I Been watching you along with Danya. Hopefully against higher ratings, it would be longer time controls. But Blitz is okay too, as long as there's increment. Thank you for the chill free lessons! Very fun and calming to watch.

    I 've tried the KID without great succes ( i am an average player 1400 ish). Your KID's video comes on point :). However i saw you playing the French and the CK within the 1400/1800 elo range , you ended the game very often faster with way more pieces over the board. The KID seems to be very complicated even for this range, you finish cause you are a master but your opponent is way less brutalized. I am nearly sure this opponent against your French or CK will have be beaten faster...; this for my pov, KID seems to be very complicated and less "efficient" than the French or the CK which are more "direct"
