So it starts as a conventional King's Indian Defence.

I play the Samisch_Variation

5... O-O 6. Be3
|
The usual moves. |

|
|
|
6... Nc6
|
Panno Variation: 6...Nc6
The Panno line, named after Oscar Panno, is a sharp and highly theoretical system which can lead to very complicated play. Black holds back the c-pawn for the time being, and aims to put the knight on d4. The immediate plan is to prepare queenside counterplay with ...a6, ...Rb8 followed by ...b5. |

This is the usual reply, so that if 7.....e5 8. d4 black can't play Nd4, which is a very strong sacrifice if say 7. Qd2 e5 8. d4 Nd4 white shouldn't grab the pawn with 9. Bxd4 exd4 10. Qxd4 because of 10....Nxe4!! with advantage to black. |

|
|
|
7... e5
|
7.... a6 may be stronger. |

Now I do the usual queen move, maybe playing Bh6 at some stage as part of a king-side attack and/or 0-0-0. |

|
|
|
9... Ne8
|
He prepares the thematic f7-f5 break. |

So basically I am saying - well if you do play f7-f5 I will at least open the g file against your king. |

|
|
|
10... f5
|
But he plays it anyway. |

He takes back. Here I had a mental aberration. I wanted to play 12. Bh3 but thought that he could win a piece with 12......f4, because if I play 13. Bxc8 I was afraid of him playing fxe3 attacking my queen. It was only after I castled I realised that I had 14. Be6+ saving my light squared bishop and going a pawn up. However later I found out that 0-0-0 is in fact the most widely played move here. |

|
|
|
12. O-O-O
|
So I castled. |

|
|
|
12... f4
|
And now he blocks the king-side up |
