Title: Kia can go wrong sometimes..

Apparently I played the Konstantinopolsky Opening last time. But in chess opening explorer it is shown that this opening doesn't score to well. More loss than win..
As far as I know the only time this was played at GM level was the above game which ended in a draw..

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. g3 Nf6 4. d3 Bc5 5. Bg2 O-O 6. O-O d6 7. a3 a5 8. h4
Nh5 9. Kh2 Bg4 10. Bh3 Qd7 11. Bxg4 Qxg4 12. c3 Bxf2 13. Rxf2 Qxg3+ 14. Kh1
Qxf2 15. Qg1 Ng3+ 16. Qxg3 Qxg3 17. Nbd2 Ne7 18. b3 Ng6 19. Bb2 Nf4 20. Rf1
Qg2# *

You shouldn't review this I made a couple of big mistakes (h4) and my opponent played well I think, but it's a nice reminder because I would like to play KIA more often in the future. Then i can play the same system for black in some cases..

Maybe you already noticed this place, but here is a large set of Konstantinopolsky games. At move 7, c3 is the most popular move. The statistics there are a little limited already (at chessok), but white certainly is not bad.
