Yes, the KIA is something I have success with, draws mostly.  Rebel and Fritz
adapt quickly to it and my their performance goes back to normal after say 5
games, unless I reset to default and just play what I have learned (they get no
learning that way).  ;)

A 2100 player can not keep up with the programs using the KIA in my experience.
Same with the Stonewall and other Dutch variations.  I have also tried French
and French in reverse, also English and different Indians.  Programs adapt to
quickly and after a couple of games leave me in the dust.  If it takes a 2400
player to maintain the advantage, then that is beyond my capabilities and other
2100 players.  :)
