Well, Google and Wikipedia are ideas.  But since you're here, King's Indian usually refers to an opening in which one player starts by playing Nf3/g3/Bg2 as White, or Nf6/g6/Bg7 as Black.  This manuever is called a fianchetto, and resembles the bishop development typical in Indian variants of the game.  Since it occurs on the King's side, it's called the King's Indian (as opposed to Queen's Indian).

The kings indian is a charge take no prisoners, due to g6, f3. with a great escape on the h rank, if not stopped a pawn promotion or a discubobalated end game will be the deciding equation. GOOD LUCK.
