Go up one level in this thread


The King plays the Old-Indian defence, and gets to exchange pieces thus getting
a solid and passive position that seems playable or at least without any serious
weakness. Whites bishop is by no means weak as it has the ability to
singelhandedly defend the Queen side while the heavy pieces regroup and prepare
the  opening pawn break e4-e5, the bishop could make blacks defence against this
hard by the threat of Bb5. Seeking a no existing initiative (or maybe kings
position bonuses) The King erroneously goes on a rampage on the kings side,
helping white advance his pawns. Passive defence is the only way in Old-Indian,
black should defend passively making white pay for the e4-e5 advance. Clearly
not a good opening for The King.
