Indians Rule Everywhere!

If there is any opening apart from King's Gambit that I like is King's Indian Defense. Interestingly both have one thing common. Both involves king side attack. This game shows why King's Indian Defense is lethal even in correspondence chess. One of the most important things of the opening is that chess programs have no idea about it. Specially the attacking pawn advances. This makes the opening prone to making errors. Now a days Bayonet attack is played by white and the only reason is that chess programs understand the attack. Human intervention in this opening becomes a paramount demand if you want to win.
