I think a queen side castle/king side pawn storm would give white a really strong attack in this position.

but this is kings indian defense against e4 is not it ? which is a good idea as I play the KID against d4, but can be passive.

this defense can become aggressive during the middle game. If white can take the knight early this defense becomes difficult to play.

I've been beaten a couple of times by people who did what Black did in this opening.

Interesting opening, the large center gives advantages in aggression later on in the game. However the pawns are vulnerable in the setup and against an aggressive player the line could become broken before it is fully established.

looks amazing, i think i must try this...

This is a nice opening, though I personally enjoy more aggressive counter attack openings as black most of the time.
But overall this is a good opening, let white occupy the center--it will be their downfall.

I think it is a bad opening for black, because white has the main control of the center.

I don't use this opening personally as black, but I have played againist is a few times. Can't say I endorse it, as I haven't lost a game in which my opponent played modern defense yet. But, I won't bash it, because i like the idea behind the opening and think it has promise.

is this like a joke or something

Seems like a sound defense opening against e-4. How to develop your pieces after the first few moves to achieve a win still hangs on the balance.

gabidallas i am interested in why you did a queen check on Qa4+. All this achieves is activating the enemies bishop or knight in fact helping them. If you want to activate your queen do Qb3 since you are going to wind up there anyways and it saves an uneeded turn

Here's a game with a unique opening I play which is a variation on the hippopotamus. It looks ultra defensive, but once it gets set up, it allows for good, agressive pawn pushes and flexible piece movement.
