Sharp attacking system and positional weapon
If in the King’s Indian you want to whip up an attack on Black’s king position as soon as possible, then you will probably turn to the Sämisch Variation. In this system, named after the game Sämisch–Yates, Marienbad 1925, White first supports his e4-pawn with f2-f3 and then develops aggressively with Be3, Qd2 and 0-0-0. His aim is to storm the black castled position with g2-g4 and h2-h4-h5 in conjunction with Be3-h6 and Nc3-d5. Of course, it is not possible for White to put this ideal scenario into practice without obstacles, but the basic idea behind his plan is very dangerous. In addition, he is not absolutely fixed on one single plan, because e. g. after ...e5 he can, just as he does in the Classical Variation, get a space advantage in the centre with d4-d5 and start an attack on the queenside.
