@smeethu and @Phoenixflare
The main idea of the f1 bishop in KIA is a fianchetto on the k-side with g3-Bg2, to give a good defense around the White king. I am ironically starting to play the French Defense - it has its strong points - but...
Look up what the ideas in KIA are first, before suggesting more. White tends to aim for a K-side castle with Nf3, g3 and Bg2, and drive a pawn to e5 and slap a rook on e1, or keep rook on f1 and aim to play f4. Or some other stuff, but those are what I usually do...
@Phoenixflare
Doesn't that complicate things a bit though? I feel like this opening either restricts the movement of the f1 bishop or you trap it with a d3.
Before D3 you could do BC4 in order to get more pieces out. It gets harder to get that bishop out when you do D3.
I will pratice this some more try to gather its strong points
This opening is very good for pratice...
very bad moves!!1
Black may as well have not been playing.
Black should have taken Queen with Knight rather then block with other Knight. Moves 8 &9
From experience as White, I would not like to be on the Black side. White can achieve his simple goal of driving a line through the middle with e5, and White can do what the King's Indian was made for in the first place - kingside pawn storm!!!
i play the french heaps! but no one really seams to play this variation.
he should taken your queen on turn 8
Here is a famous game with the French Defense's King's Indian Attack.

nice
i might use this opening
Playing KIA vs. French has the advantage for white that it requires an additional move for black to play pawn to e5 (later in the game), because it's often a real threat that white puts his pawn on e5.
i'm not too familiar with this variation but ity seems nice to look into. i' more used to the c5 line for black
Bobby fisher pplayed the kings indian attack against the french
french defense that is very dangerous for white in centrum.
