King’s Indian g3 6.Nc3 Nc6 7.0–0 Bf5 [E62]-TWIC 972

TWIC 972
The King's Indian is as popular as ever and white has a wide range of weapons the choose from. The g3 King's Indian is a solid choice but in the feature game, white got nothing special despite some ambitious play.

King’s Indian g3 8.b3 Panno[E63]-TWIC 966

TWIC 966
The g3 system against the King's Indian a solid choice but the ...Nc6 Panno variation gives black active chances. White must have a viable way to fight this popular line. Wojo's Weapons 3 recommends 8.b3 but this turns out to be nothing special in the latest game(s). 

Here is a recent example.

King’s Indian Classical 7.Be3 Ng4[E92]-TWIC 960

TWIC 960
The Gligoric variation of the Classical is one of many reasonable ways to fight the combative King's Indian Defence. GM Onischuk overwhelmed the queenside in a one-sided strategic fight in the Mexixo International Open.
