King's Indian Killer - The Harry Attack Palliser Richard
Do you want a simple and practical method to counter Black's kingside fianchetto defences after 1 d4? If so, then The Harry Attack (1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 g6 3 h4!) is for you. A line that takes the initiative from a very early stage and creates difficult practical problems?
Aren't we all taught to focus on development and control of the centre in the early stages? At first this looks like some sort of joke or, at the very least, a weird outlandish line. What's 3 h4 got to do with that?
Perhaps surprisingly, this is a very difficult line for Black to counter effectively. This applies not just in practical play but also theoretically, where it is far from straightforward for Black even to find a route to equality. And when Black gets it wrong they are often on the receiving end of a very unpleasant miniature.
You may be thinking that surely the best chess engines can show how to counter this
