Nc3 g6 3. e4 d6 4. d4 Bg7 {In ld books and magazines this was referred to as simply the Indian Defense and it was’t umtil the mid-1900s that Hams Kmoch began using the term King’s Indian. Up until the mid-1930s it was generally considered highly suspect, but that changed thanks to its use by strong Russian players.} 5. Nf3 O-O 6.

Bxg4 {It's interesting to note that if white avoids exchanging Bs by 22.Bd3 he would lose.} Qxc4 {The situation has radically changed . Black is two Ps up and his development is nearly complete.} 23. Bd1 {The routine 23.Bh6 is not especially good.} Nf5 24. Qf4 Qd4+ { Obviously the d-Pawn is immune because of 25.Bb3. Black has a decisive advantage here and it's hard to believe what follows.} 25. Kh1 Qe5 {Imprecise.} 26. Qf3 h5 {This is more of a gesture than an attack. Black's advantage has vanished even though he remains two Ps up. His N on f8 is out of play and the R on a8 is useless while all of white's pieces are active participants.} 27. g4 hxg4 28. Qxg4 c6 29. Bc2 Rc8 {[%mdl 8192] A total collapse!} 30. Bf4 Qe7 31.
