1. d4
A game of the King's Indian April 2007 mini-tournament which had the four-pawn-variation as motive. I add the Spanish comments by migchess20 and the English by carokant.

 
1... Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. e4 d6 5. f4 O-O 6. Nf3 c5 7. d5 e6
At once the advanced pawn is attacked.

 
8. Be2 exd5 9. e5
White sacrifices a pawn for initiative. migchess20: 9.cxd5 Esta continuación la considero mejor, ya que los peones centrales ejercen mayor tensión al juego. 9...Ag4 10.0–0 Axf3 11.Axf3 Cbd7 12.Te1 Te8

 
9... dxe5
migchess20: 9...Ce4 El caballo en la casilla e4 ejerce mayor control en el centro del tablero 10.Cxd5 Cc6 11.Dc2 f5 12.exd6

 
10. fxe5 Ng4 11. Nxd5 Nxe5 12. O-O Nxf3+ 13. Bxf3 Nc6 14. Be3 Nd4 15. Rc1 Be6 16. b3 Nxf3+
Starts a chain of exchanges in order to relieve the pressure on the black position.

 
17. Qxf3 Bxd5
migchess20: Creo que es mejor mantener el par de alfiles para un final y no hacer el cambio por el caballo. es mas fuerte el par de alfiles que alfil y caballo.

 
18. cxd5 b6 19. Rcd1
White has an advanced free pawn, pressure on the f-file. The weak point could be the open d4-g1 diagonal. Black has a strong bishop on g7 and also can occupy open files. The black queen has good chances via h4 on the 4th row.

 
19... Qd7
Covers f7.

 
20. a3
Now black had the idea: give a rook for the bishop and then skewer the rook/queen to the king with the bishop! Which rook should I take??

 
20... Rfe8 21. b4
...but white can give his rook back for the bishop appearing on d4 which would put white's queen in a dominating position.

 
21... cxb4 22. axb4 Bc3
migchess20: El alfil en esta posicion es mala ya que colocamos la pieza en el aire, ya que no esta defendida y esta es atacada indirectamente por la dama.

 
23. Bxb6 Bxb4 24. Bd4
Now whites bishop is on the big diagonal. migchess20: Las blancas dominan la diagonal central y el rey se encuentra expuesto a un ataque posterior.

 
24... f5
Relieves the pressure on f7 but opens the diagonal on the king.

 
25. Qb3 Qd6
Blocks the pawn and covers the bishop. migchess20: Considero debil este movimiento, creo que era mejor llevar el alfil a d6. Aquí podias haber logrado un tablas. Las posiciones de ambos era equivalente. La defensa india del rey la considero una apertura muy difícil, ya que es muy posicional.

 
26. Rdc1 Re4
Provoques the next 5 moves but unfortunately has a hole because...

 
27. Rc6 Qe7 28. d6+ Qf7 29. Qxb4 Qd5
...black intended to win back the bishop here but...

 
30. Rc4
...the white rook can retreat and in the same time protect the bishop. So: always think tactical move chains UNTIL THE VERY END!

 
30... Rd8 31. Qc3 Rxd6 32. Bh8
Theratens mate on g7 and also the rook check on c8 is dangerous. There is only one way.

 
32... Re7
And the c8 rook check is met with Rd8.

 
33. Rc8+ Rd8 34. Bf6
This skewer leads to the loss of a rook which is too much to continue. Black resigned.
