In this game I lose to stonni, only a few minor mistakes by white shows how black can encounter a powerful four pawns attack in the King's indian. |

The game opening is E76 King's Indian, Four Pawns Attack. This opening gains much space for White. Black needs to respond to avoid losing the center. |

Black has a light advantage. The king castle is solid, the rook can get the b file with 9. ... Rb8 and the Queen can look into the white Kings's castle by 10. ... Qb6 |

Both white and black play a balanced game. The pawn structure gives the bishops and the queens much power on the diagonals. |

White is more and more in a bad situation. The pawn center is destroyed and the black d pawn can break through. |

Black starts an exchange sequence, winning a pawn by a discovered attack on the queen. |

Black has a lone pawn at the c file and will try everything to get through to c1. |

White hopes that a one Knight end game can halt the marching pawn. The white King is needed for help, but unfortunately far away in the corner. |

The King appeared in the center. Can white force black to lose the b pawn? |

Yes! White has growing hopes, but the black Knight can now take the h pawn at only three moves! |

Black is now turning the game and can force White to defend at the h file, while the a pawn is marching, supported by the black King. |

White has defended the h file successfully, but for what a price. The black King and knight are bothcloser to the a file than White. A fierce fight begins. Black can check. |

49... Nxg3+ 50. Kh2 Ne2 51. Nd3 Kd5 52. Ne5 Nc1 53. Nxg6 Nxb3

White has only one pawn left. Is there a chance to halt the black a file pawn? |
|
| |
|
|
54. Ne7+ Ke4 55. Nc6 Kxf4
|
Now black has two pawns more. The last phase of the fight begins. |

|
By taking the knight, the white king is one step too far away from the last black pawn and black wins. |
