5.Nge2 against the King's Indian Defence

The King's Indian Defense was popularized by none other than Gary Kasparov. His aggressive play stole many hearts in the 80s and his influence is still felt today. The King's Indian Defense is particularly popular among club players. White players often fear it because Black immediately plays for the white king. The Hungarian Variation offers White his own attack plan. With 5.Nge2 he plays 6.Ng3, closes the center with d5 ​​to ...c5/...e5 and starts playing on the kingside. Instead of being checkmated, White is the one who checkmates Black! This is already the new fashion with the 5.Ne2 6.Be3 line or the 5.h3 6.Be3 variation and the Hungarian Variation also fits perfectly into this picture.
