Master the King's Indian Defense: GM Supi Completes His Revolutionary Trilogy
The final chapter in one of Modern Chess's most acclaimed series has arrived – and it might be the most crucial one yet.
Why Part 3 Could Be Your KID Game-Changer
GM Luis Supi doesn't mince words: "In my opinion, Part 3 is as important as Parts 2 and 1." Coming from a grandmaster who's spent years perfecting his King's Indian repertoire – including deploying it against elite players like Anish Giri at the 2024 Olympiad – that's a statement worth taking seriously.
The King's Indian Defense According to Supi - Part 3, developed in collaboration with FM Silvio Oliveira, addresses what many KID practitioners fear most: the deceptively dangerous Fianchetto variation. While Part 1 established the foundation and Part 2 covered the main tactical battles, Part 3 tackles the positions where general KID understanding simply isn't enough.
The Fianchetto Problem Every KID Player Must Solve
"You look at the move g3 and think: Ok! I play whatever I want. But no!" warns Supi. This is precisely why the Fianchetto (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.g3) has become a weapon of choice for players seeking to avoid the sharp theoretical battles of the main lines.
The challenge? Without the typical e4 pawn, Black loses the classic f7-f5 break. The counterplay patterns that work elsewhere in the KID simply don't apply. Supi explains: "General KID understanding will not help you too much here... That's why, with White, I choose the fianchetto a lot of times against the KID."
Supi's Secret Weapon: The ...c6 System
In Part 3, Supi reveals his personal answer to the Fianchetto: the mysterious 6...c6!? This isn't just another theoretical recommendation – it's a line Supi has trusted in high-stakes games, including his 2024 Olympiad encounter with Giri.
"Just search in the database, and you will find lots of games by myself here," Supi notes with characteristic confidence. "I think not only do we do a great job suggesting this line for you, but the analysis is really original stuff."
