If you have no prior opening knowledge, the Kings Indian is not the place to start and neither is the Pirc, and the play in those 2 openings are in no ways similar at all.
White playing c4 (Kings Indian) and White not playing c4 (Pirc) makes a HUGE difference. In the Kings Indian, Black goes for an attack on d4. In the Pirc, the attack is on e4.
At your early stage, you should learn 2 openings, and play them both as Black AND White! Yes, this means sometimes playing e4 and sometimes d4 with White.
They are the Ruy Lopez and Queen's Gambit.
Those 2 openings follow opening principles to the letter. If your opponent plays something else, not allowing your 2 openings, follow basic opening concepts. Control the center. Do not move a piece in the opening twice unless it is being attacked. Get castled. Do not move your Queen early.
Hello, I'm a player with virtually 0 theoretical basis. I soon realized that I couldn't just charge head on and expect to win. So I decided to choose one opening for white, one for black, understand which kind of game style I felt more comfortable with and maybe start to study a little bit from there.
I choose queen's gambit for white and pirc's defense/king's indian for black. Even though I have yet to figure out my style, results say that I win more with black and I loose more with white.
So I decided to change my white opening and try something that is more similar to king's indian's playing style, but I have no idea what to look for.
Should I also try something different with black? Or should I stick with king's indian since I feel comfortable with it?
PS
I wouldn't like something like "you have this fixed 10 move sequence that you brainlessly play", I would prefer something more flexible that allow for different games to develop, so I can learn more. Thank you very much in advance.
