The following position arises from KID classical variation: 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 [D]r1bq1rk1/pppnn1bp/3p2p1/3Pp3/2P1Pp2/2N2P2/PP2BBPP/R2QNRK1 b - - 0 12 Note the similarity with the game above. Since unlike this position Fritz has no pawn on f3 and bishop on f2, its kingside defenses are even weaker. In the position above black will continue with ...g5 and later ...g4, while white will open the queenside with c5. The same idea. > >Bertil
