King's Indian Averbakh System
Black's complete answer to the Averbakh System (5.Be2 O-O 6.Bg5) in the King's Indian. Ten drills cover the Main 7.d5 e6 8.Qd2, the 7.d5 h6 8.Bf4 e6 line, the modern 7.d5 a6 plan, the 7.dxc5 Qa5 recovery, the 6...Na6 setup, the 6...Nbd7 plan, the 6...h6 + ...e5 break, the sharp 7.d5 b5 gambit, the Czech 6...c6 + ...e5, and the 6...Nc6 7.d5 Nb8 retreat.
The Averbakh (5.Be2 O-O 6.Bg5) is White's sneakiest anti-King's Indian: by pinning before Black can play ...e5, it disrupts the entire classical plan and forces Black to find an independent path. This pack drills every Black weapon — the main 7.d5 e6 8.Qd2 with ...Re8 pressure, the ...h6 8.Bf4 e6 recapture, the modern 7.d5 a6 + ...b5 plan, the 7.dxc5 Qa5 instant recovery, the active 6...Na6 + ...e5, the solid 6...Nbd7 + ...e5, the kick-then-strike 6...h6 + ...e5, the sharp 7.d5 b5 gambit, the Czech 6...c6 + ...e5, and the 6...Nc6 + Nb8 retreat. Forty exam positions sharpen the critical decisions — when to ...exd5, when to ...h6, when to sacrifice with ...b5 — so you meet the Averbakh with prepared, fighting theory.
