Chessable's "Dethrone the King's Indian Defense Part 2: Sidelines for white", which claims to offer the most complete refutation against the KID, has 2300 variations (in just part 2). Wtf? Who has time for that against just the KID? #chess #chesspunks - ThreadSky

That sounds insane 😅 I think a course with 1000 lines is already impractical to learn. But it might be useful as a reference. It's always difficult to find the balance between more coverage and not too many lines 😅

the quickstarters alone are probably more than enough

378 quick starter lines. I wish I was joking. About to post a screenshot because the layout is insane

I did not realize it was that many. this would be too much for a full repertoire on d4 let alone just the KID

(And just the sidelines - doesn’t include the mainline. That’s part 1, which is fortunately only 400 more variations or so!)

raghavkalyan.bsky.social•28 days ago

what does part 1 cover? just the mainline bayonet?

mono-chi.bsky.social•27 days ago

Yes

might well be an excellent reference for correspondence players.
they might well already know many of the lines...
