Hey, right now I'm practicing the Dutch defence but what's better in your opinion, the Dutch or the King's Indian?

They are both dynamic and combative. I play the Dutch.

king's indian is better theoretically compared to all dutch variants. but that might actually make it worse in terms of practicality.

At our level, the King's Indian is more flexible but the Dutch might be easier to play.

I really love the Classical Dutch. It's usually annoying for white to face a rare guest, and if you know the basic ideas, you get great positions.
