King's Indian Attack (A07) 1.Nf3 d5 2.g3

I wanna compare all openings with d5+g3 pawn structure and maybe some additional black pawns on 6th row. I will call it KIA hierarchy or 3g|5d-hierarchy. Here's whats I found in Game Explorer so far.

Hungarian Opening: Slav Formation (A00)
1.g3 d5 2.Bg2 c6

Hungarian Opening: Catalan Formation (A00)
1.g3 d5 2.Bg2 e6
 
King's Indian Attack: Double Fianchetto (A07)
1.Nf3 d5 2.g3 g6

King's Indian Attack: Keres Variation (A07)
1.Nf3 d5 2.g3 Bg4 3.Bg2 Nd7

King's Indian Attack: Yugoslav Variation (A07)
1.Nf3 d5 2.g3 Nf6 3.Bg2 c6 4.O-O Bg4

Keres Variation has the distance zero to the basic KIA. Slav, Catalan and Double Fianchetto are of height 1 above the basic KIA (corresponding to pawn moves c6, e6 and g6 resp.)Cool

Why 3g instead of g3?

Smile Oh just a personal preference. If it's, let's say, the modern attack with d3 and g3 pawns, I'll write 3dg.Cool
