Study Chess Openings

Chess openings is something that has to be studied in great detail.
Today I covered King's Indian Defence for White.
From now on you will be winning with Classical variation of King's Indian and mainly with Bayonet Attack.

I hope you'll have fun winning against King's Indian Defence.

Nine annotated games

Hi.

For two days I was preparing videos about my games in 2009 Mistrzostwa KKSz (Championship of KKSz [oldest club in Poland]).

Here you can see videos:

In summary, Game 7 is so far the best game in my life.
But other games consisted of many blunders and inaccuracies.
