You might be getting bogged down in trying to learn opening variations too early. Your opponent will rarely play the moves you've planned for. I think it'd be better to focus on learning to calculate forward from the position on the board than trying to learn prescribed moves for each situation.
To win your matches, try to minimise your own blunders while exploiting those of your opponent.

I thought picking up an oppening to learn is important though. If I don't learn the set up, what do I do @@? Maybe just ignore the set up and go for the center?
Oh I get it now lol. I was confused about what does Nxe4 mean. Thx man, never thought about that.
If there is a free pawn to take without risk, then take it.
yeah nxe4 is just a free pawn lol also this isn't really a king's indian defense
This is an exceptionally good example of what happens if a very low rated "studies openings". Nothing good.
Hi ouo, I'm new to chess.
Recently I pick up kings indian as an oppening to learn.
And when I see the replay of this game I found that I don't know what to do.
They go pawn to e4 first, I go pawn to d6.
They go bishop to c4 I go horse f6.
Then they go horse f3.
I go pawn to g6 . Then they go horse g5.
I don't know what to do lol.
After 1.e4 by white, you are not playing Kings Indian Defense. 1.e4 d6 is Pirc Defense.
You already got the answer on what to do in this particular case, but if you seek improvement, don't bother yourself with opening moves too much. Learn what you are going for - the first 3-5 moves (even that you will not get every time). Beyond that make sure to learn opening principles. This is much more useful than learning some lines.
OK. Thanks to all of you. People are surely kind here, I'm a bit surprised lol

Alright, got it

magipi's point is that opening study is NOT the best way to improve, at your level.
You would get far more return on your time invested if you spent it studying tactics and basic opening principles, and developing your situational awareness and board vision.

the point he was making is that when a beginner learns openings, they will often face something that is a bad move, but not know how to punish it. A lot of times, the beginner will just continue with their normal plan and ignore what their opponent is doing.
This is why i think it is critical to learn opening principles first, and once you are in at least the 1000s you can learn some basic openings.

Yeah, I surely was just following the rule blindly and not noticing that free pawn OHO
