• King's Indian setup
• Chess opening for beginners
• Pirc defense
• Austrian attack
• Chess pawn structures

What it concludes

• The King's Indian setup is a great tool for beginners and intermediates to get developed and play the middle game.
• Once the center is closed in the King's Indian or Pirc defense, you should not try to play f5 just by itself, but instead play e5 to close the center and attack your opponent.
• If your opponent does not set up in a King's Indian or Pirc defense structure and instead plays d4 early, White's Austrian attack and bishop pressure on e3 are two critical attacking methods to watch out for.
