King's Indian Defense - Anti-King's Indian Sidelines

Position after 6... Nc6

Main line

The chapter's main line, with the comments from the course.

1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6
Black's signature move, preparing to fianchetto the bishop where it'll dominate the long diagonal and become a monster.
3. Nc3
White's most common setup, but now we get to choose our path.
3... Bg7
Black commits to the King's Indian setup.
4. e4
The big central push. White grabs the full pawn center and we set up to hit it with d6 and e5.
4... d6
The King's Indian lets us build our fortress on the kingside and then launch a crushing attack while White fumbles around on the queenside.
5. Be2
Watch out, White can follow up with either quiet Nf3 or aggressive h4-h5 attack.
5... O-O
Still fine for us, we meet h4 with h5.
6. Be3
A tricky modern line that's gotten popular lately.
6... Nc6
Black challenges the center early but White can push forward and gain tempo.
