We are pleased to present another fascinating opening survey by GM Davorin Kuljasevic - Play the Neo-Seirawan System against King's Indian Defence.
The starting position of the repertoire arises after 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 Bg7 4.e4 d6 5.Nf3 0-0 6.Bd3
In the introduction to the database, the author writes, "At first, this seems like a mixup between the two different systems. Usually, we develop our bishop and knight either in the ''classical'' Be2-Nf3 or the ''Seirawan'' Bd3-Ne2 formation. By comparison, Bd3-Nf3 (which I decided to name the ''Neo-Seirawan'' variation) seems less principled because it allows Black to pin the knight with Bg4. However, things are not that simple for Black after this move, as we will see.
