Although I don't fight it much I do see it quite a bit and would like to know some good counters against it, I'm already aware of the Trompowsky Attack but that's just a trade, I would like to find ways to crush this opening.

A Very good response to blacks knight is to defend your pawn with the king's knight This is called the Knights variation of the indian game

You’re best to play into it.

It’s easier to play as white in most cases.

Depends what the opponent plays.

Against the King's Indian, this is best:

There are a lot of great options against the King's Indian.

Against the Grünfeld, the Russian and the Exchange are best. Petrosian is worth looking at as well.

Against the Nimzo 4. e3 or 4. Qc2. Or avoid it with 3. Nf3, and enter a Queen's Indian.

Benoni you just push d4-d5 and enjoy your advantage.

The Jobava London can work really well against KID. In fact if they blindly setup and castle while you h4 h5, there is a rook sac that is nice.
