Kinda OP
King's Indian Attack (KIA)
Sort:
Wow
Nice
Nice
Good Opening
Is this also the King's Indian Attack:
1. Nf3 d5
2. g3 c5
3. Bg2 Nc6
4. 0-0 e5
5. d3
What's your take on that?

It's the King's Indian reversed obviously. A proper KIA needs a black pawn on e6 in order to play e5 with White. Otherwise it's a defence, not an attack.
The chess servers have it all wrong, as usual. They even invented the term old-Indian attack for the old-Indian reversed. How ridiculous is that??
Very good

After Nc6 I prefer going d4 into a sort of reversed Grunfeld.

You seem like you know a lot about the subject. Yet Wikipedia disagrees (I just googled it) with it:

What do you guys think about the opening above. It's kinda like a Catalan without c4. White plays for Nd2 and e4. Of course against ...d5 this might be different.

First of all I don't care about Wiki. "White's most common plan involves the central pawn push e4–e5"
Obviously that's not possible with a black pawn on e5...
This is a very simple system. These are the following moves :
