Good job. I am wondering when this started to be called the 'Barcza', though. I have always seen this opening referred to as the King's Indian Attack (and the Wikipedia page for "Barcza Opening" redirects to the KIA.)

I clicked solution to see the sequence of moves that you have and I was just wondering...
Why doesn't White play 6.Nd4! - it may be followed by 7.Nc6 forking the Queen & Rook?
Similarly, On move 7, why doesn't Black play 7...Nd5! which could be followed by 8...Nc3 forking Queen & Rook?
Just wondering!
It's always been the Barcza, before leading into the King's Indian.
1.Nf3 2.g3 3.Bg2 4.O-O is the base Barcza, which then leads off into several different openings. It was originally created by Gedeon Barcza (1911-1986).
Glad to see you're liking the Barcza, Vernon I knew you would
This is a cool opening. But after black plays 26...Nd5, why doesn't white play 27. Qxd8? Then white would have black's queen and put the king in check. White can then take black's knight at d5, too. I don't know - maybe that move would be too brash?
i was introduced to this opening and it has helped me alot i have won every game i played using it so far.It sets up and amazing offence and wonderful defence you should give it a try.
Good luck with it.
