However, if Black plays d5 instead, it leads to the Grunfeld Defense. In the KID, Black willingly gives up central control to White, allowing them to establish a strong presence in the center with their pawns. Black's strategy is to wait for the right moment to counterattack. The KID is known for its rich middlegame positions, where Black's counterplay often revolves around launching pawn breaks and piece maneuvers to challenge White's central control. Timing and accurate move order become crucial in executing the KID successfully.
