C5 in KID

Sort:
pumpuja

I'm trying to learn more about KID, but I only understand the locked center kingside attack positions after the e5 pawn push if they lock the center like in Classical variation, etc, by understand I probably mean that I know that I need to attack and how, but I have no idea how to play variations with c5 pawn break, no difference in what move order or variation, I just don't get what am I paying for, what's the general plan, etc.

Any recommendations on what are the best variations to look at (like with Na6 first and then c5 or Fisher variation, I don't know much so this is just from the top of my mind) and maybe games or players whose games I can have a look at to learn general ideas and plans

I find that ... c5 makes an excellent counter if White plays Bg5.

Here is an old OTB tournament game of mine.

Another situation that favors ... c5 occurs in the Panno, against the classical fianchetto.

thanks, your second game is the type of game I was looking for, because none of my opponents take the pawn like in the first game
