In this series, GM Mauricio Flores provides an in-depth look of the most common structures in the Kings Indian Defense. Based on carefully selected example games, he explains the main plans and ideas of the three different types of structures in the KID and shows strategic patterns which often appear in those structures. In addition, he will focus on typical mistakes and traps and explains how to avoid them.

In the third video of the series, GM Mauricio Flores shows two typical plans for white in this Type II Kings Indian structure.

- The most common plan is to play b2-b4 in order to attack the c5-pawn and to make some kind of queenside pressure.
- The second plan, which is not so common, is to play on the kingside with f2-f4.

GM Mauricio Flores is the author of the well recognized book "Chess Structures: A Grandmaster Guide". Link: www.amazon.com/Chess-Structures-Mauricio-Flores-Rios/dp/1784830003
