However the >analysis of why is very difficult and Complicated. This is my analysis (take it with a grain of salt as I haven't checked it with computers): 1. Nxa8 Nxb6 2. Nxb6 Qh4 3. h3 Bxh3 4. gxh3 Qxh3 5. Rf2 gxf2+ 6. Kxf2 Qg3+ 7. Kf1 h4 8. Bb5 h3 9. Ke2 Nh4 10. Nc2 Qxf3+ 11.

This is from the kind of positions each King's Indian player should be familiar with. Let me guess, did the position arise from the moves: 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. Nf3 O-O 6. Be2 e5 7. O-O Nc6 8. d5 Ne7 9. Ne1 Nd7 10. Be3 f5 11. f3 f4 12. Bf2 g5 13. a4 Ng6 14. a5 Nf6 15. c5 h5 16. cxd6 cxd6 17. Nb5 g4 18. Bxa7 g3 19. Bb6 Qe7 20. Nc7 Nd7 ? And could you please post the rest of the game? In King's Indian black should do whatever he can to avoid a knight seating at c7, and thus threatening to move to e6, blocking the c8 bishop. After 1.h3 black cannot go for the thematic sacrifice at h3, since after: 1. h3 Nxb6 2. axb6 Rxa1 3. Qxa1 Bxh3 4. gxh3 Qd7 white will block the h3-c8 diagonal by 5. Ne6 1. h3 Nxb6 2. axb6 Rxa1 3. Qxa1 Qh4 will also be blocked by 5. Ne6 >please indicate your result.
