King's Indian "Attack" as white; Does anyone else play it?

Does anyone else play the King's Indian "Attack" with white, or am I alone on this one?  It's petty passive and positional, trying to lure your opponent to a bad position or trade and take advantage of it after castling kingside.  I begin with e4 so it isn't too obvious at the start.

I also suck, so if i'm he only one,i'll know why lol

I play it and i can tell u it is not passive at all ^^

I play it against openings where Black plays an early e6, locking in his QB. I think it's pretty effective in those situations.

I play it against the computer. It's far from passive is all I'll say.😂

Sorry for the double posts. Trying to get the pgn to show but idk it's not doing it.

Here's my KIA (King's Indian Attack) "overprotection" game. Nimzovich would be ecstatic.

The King's Indian Attack is sometimes suggested as a sort of quick-fix opening solution for near-beginners, but notice the reservations that IM Watson had while mentioning the idea.
"... For players with very limited experience, I recommend using openings in which the play can be clarified at an early stage, often with a degree of simplification. To accomplish this safely will take a little study, because you will have to get used to playing wiith open lines for both sides' pieces, but you can't eliminate risk entirely in the opening anyway. ... teachers all over the world suggest that inexperienced players begin with 1 e4. ... You will undoubtedly see the reply 1 ... e5 most often when playing at or near a beginner's level, ... After 2 Nf3, 2 ... Nc6 will occur in the bulk of your games. ... I recommend taking up the classical and instructive move 3 Bc4 at an early stage. Then, against 3 ... Bc5, it's thematic to try to establish the ideal centre by 4 c3 and 5 d4; after that, things can get complicated enough that you need to take a look at some theory and learn the basics; ... Of course, you can also play 1 d4 ... A solid and more-or-less universal set-up is 2 Nf3 and 3 Bf4, followed in most cases by 4 e3, 5 Be2 and 6 0-0. I'd rather see my students fight their way through open positions instead; however, if you're not getting out of the opening alive after 1 e4, this method of playing 1 d4 deserves consideration. ... a commonly suggested 'easy' repertoire for White with 1 Nf3 and the King's indian Attack ... doesn't lead to an open game or one with a clear plan for White. Furthermore, it encourages mechanical play. Similarly, teachers sometimes recommend the Colle System ..., which can also be played too automatically, and usually doesn't lead to an open position. For true beginners, the King's Indian Attack and Colle System have the benefit of offering a safe position that nearly guarantees passage to some kind of playable middlegame; they may be a reasonable alternative if other openings are too intimidating. But having gained even a small amount of experience, you really should switch to more open and less automatic play." - IM John Watson in a section of his 2010 book, Mastering the Chess Openings, Volume 4

maybe i should rephrase; by passive, i didn't mean play can't be sharp by any means.  however, KIA tends to be semi closed in many cases, and although you end up with a kingside attack, black will have similar chances on the queenside.  I also meant that in most cases, you are positioning your pieces to be coordinated and daring black to be the one to attempt to break open the position earlier on before you are done developing.  either they prematurely get a little too aggressive which eaves my coordinated pieces in a position to both defend threats and create them, which tends to be complicate the position for them if they didn't set up accordingly, or they don't do it quick enough and I absolutely crush their king side, not giving them an inch and backing them in to a corner when  begin my attack in full.

I used to play what I used to call: "Queen's Indian Attack" (i.e. Nimzovich-Larsen attack) as white once in a while, but not lately....is it better than KIA????

Join the KIA club run by wormrose!

what do you mean?  dxe4? that doesn't make sense, at least with my preferred attacks.  if black moves to d5 to play dxe4, I simply push e5.  plying d5 helps me tremendously.

Is a vote chess/study club dedicated to the KIA

Thank you zenwabi
