What is an aggressive line against the King's Indian?

Sort:
DasBurner

I've completed the switch from 1. e4 to 1. d4 as white and I've got my repertoire already settled down (I was debating between Colle and Catalan and picked Catalan and had great success recently), except for a response to the King's Indian. I've had this position a few times now

And I've been playing 6. be2 and I think I've won the majority of games that I've played with it, but it was always because of a tactic or a blunder from black that caused me to win the game, not because I ended up better out of the opening, rather I've been worse out of the opening often after a few more moves. (Run-on sentence pardon)

What lines/variations would you recommend against that typical 6 move King's Indian move order? (I know black could play a million different moves after that but I'm willing to study a lot of lines to find something that works for me)

play the double fianchetto system

You play on the side where you’re better, which is on the queenside. You do that by creating space and trying to get a passed pawn. 

(Take my advice with a grain of salt because I’m not a master)

if you want something aggressive you can play f3 instead of Nf3 and then Be3, De2, g4, h4, h5, Bh6 (i am not sure the order of moves, it's just scheme of attack ...)

four pawns attack is fine and aggressive too ig...
on the other hand if you like rather some positional games with long time pressure on your opponent, king's fianchetto is very solid here...
I would avoid classical variants like Nf3 d6 Be2 e5 0-0 Nc6 d5 Ne7 Be3 Ng4 with next f5 they are very nice for black side i think

*Be3 Dd2 i meant...

FPA is sound.

yes but in the four pawns attack you can get into serious trouble when black starts weakening ur center

You just have to memorize 150 dense pages of theory.

f3 was one of the options I was already considering so thanks

Every opening is bad at our level of play.
