FM Alisa Melekhina - who was previously mentioned in
Chess vs Life - recently started recording videos for Chess.com and I was pleasantly surprised to see that
video #2 features an effective annotation of an attacking game in the English. Sadly for English players, Black (Alisa) wins handily with a kingside breakthrough, but it is instructional nonetheless to see how White should
not play against a King's Indian Defense (KID) type setup. The broader lesson, always helpful to see illustrated, is not to follow a stereotyped plan in your opening and to pay the necessary attention to what your opponent is doing.
