Arasan plays the KG quite a bit, with mixed results. When it loses it has often
been due to holes in the opening book, many of which I've fixed (so some of the
lines below won't work anymore).
Here are a few recent games. The one against Hossa was particularly interesting.
Both kings became exposed but in the end Hossa was outmanouvered.
