Fun with the KID

15...Nc5 is inferior to 15...Qe7, but it prompted white's mistakes 16 b4 and 17 Qxd2. This often happens: by making an inferior move and taking the opponent out of his opening preparation he goes wrong right away, even more so in blitz.
Thanks!

I always try to play my regular openings to improve, no Blitz trickery. This „Blitz = evil“ is somewhat out-dated in my opinion. Actually it is my recommendation to play some quick games and analyze them briefly.
I play a lot of bullet on my main account, and I know your opinion on it. I think 1+0 and 3+0 don't really affect my standard time control play, neither positively nor negatively. But I think 3 minute and slower can be useful in a way you mentioned above.
What do you think about 15... Bxd2 followed by Nc5 exploiting the b pawn ? I guess its possible to consider . Qe7 does seem kinda passive and Bxd2 does eliminate the dark squared Bishop, but also gives you a tempo . Idk Looking at it again I don't think it would be worth it for the tempo though. I don't have time to analyze if it is considered a good move though. Good Game
