Train it in TheoriaAbout the Kloss Attack
The Kloss Attack is White's 8. Kh1 in the Bogoljubow Defense, played after both sides have castled kingside. It is an alternative to the more direct 8. Qe1, the Studier. White tucks the king into the corner, off the g1–a7 diagonal. This means Black's pressure against the d4 pawn cannot come with check before White builds up on the half-open f-file. Black remains a pawn ahead behind a solid fianchetto.
