robparker your right. But without e2-e4 both players have possibilities to go off KID into some other openings, and that would be absolutely unacceptable, so probably they sucrificed 4.g3, 4.Bg5 and 4.Bf4 to make all games fit the thematic. It is only my assumption of course.

Black's third move should read Bg7 - but we all know that!! :)

I think it is a shame they have included 4. e4 - as there are some interesting lines without this move - Fianchetto variation with 4.g3, Smyslov System with 4.Bg5, and 4.Bf4 systems .....
