King's Indian Defence

Averbakh Variation

White develops the bishop to g5 early, eyeing a pin on f6 and discouraging the standard ...e5 break. Black sidesteps with ...c5, challenging the d4 pawn and seeking queenside counterplay instead. The Averbakh leads to unique middlegame structures that differ significantly from other King's Indian lines.
