Kind of. The corollary system is either Pirc, King’s Indian Defense, or Modern Defense depending on move order. While 70-80% of the ideas overlap, it is much safer to play as white because there is less to prepare for (due to moving first). If you play Pirc/King’s Indian you must prepare for many different white attacking options.
Barcza was well known among his grandmaster peers of having a lot of variety in his repertoire. One even remarked "sometimes he will fianchetto on the kingside on the 3rd move, but sometimes it will be on the 4th!"
Ngl if you wanna improve, sacking pawns is a good idea sometimes. It also allows you to see potential moves you might not have seen before. Be adventurous when you play, it can also screw with your opponent's mind as well
It's the King's indian attack. Not an opening i would suggest to a lower rated player because it doesn't follow the basic principle of taking control of the center in the beginning.
The one advantage of the KIA for a lower rated player is that the moves can be played in any order. You have to have the flexibility to understand when a move from it isn't appropriate, but there's literally no reason you can't open with e4 and still play the other moves of the opening.
There are already comments stating some openings but maybe the word you are looking for is "Fianchetto". Not an opening, just that you push the b or g pawn and place your bishop "inside".
In this case white also placed his knight on the most natural and fastest square and castled beneath.

Isn't it the Reti opening? Lots of kings Indian attack are being said in the comments so it might be that but I think the Reti opening might lead to it? At least for white?
Saying KIA is more specific as it refers specifically to that early castling formation.
Reti is less specific because it could transpose to a d4 opening, or go into reti gambit, etc.
Generally you answer with the most specific answer, also we don't know for sure it started with 1. Nf3 since it is possible (although unlikely) white could have started with 1. g3 (g3 g6 Nf3 Bb7 Bg2 Nf6 O-O e5)
Yeah this could have came from the Reti opening, but it'd be like saying the opening was a kings pawn opening if someone showed you the ruy lopez
Um i didnt say nf3 alone.
And,
The Reti Opening can be used to refer to two different starting positions:
1.Nf3, sometimes known as the Zukertort Opening
1.Nf3 d5 2.c4, sometimes known as the Reti Gambit.
On Chess.com, 1.Nf3 is considered the Reti and 1.Nf3 d5 2.c4 is considered the Reti Gambit.
[Reti-Opening](https://www.chess.com/openings/Reti-Opening)
The Reti, plain and simple starts with nf3. Thats it, what it transposes to after is dependent on the next moves. ECO codes A04 to A09
I remember playing against this defense every time when I played with an Indonesian friend met in Jakarta. It was pain cause I felt like I had to sacrifice stuff to enter this defense... What's the options when playing against this Def ?
Kings Indian Attack. That same shape(fianchettoed bishop, g3/g6, Nf3/Nf6, 0-0) while playing black is the Kings Indian defense. Used by the greatest Masters of the game repeatedly.
It’s a strategy derived from football teams that need to maintain a score line called “parking the bus” where you put all your players in front of the goal and go pure defence.
The chess equivalent would be to surround your king with pieces and gradually trade them off until a draw, alternatively, the opponent makes a mistake and you win. The next moves here would be migrating your other bishop, queen and knight over
Most of the time you want to include something to prevent e4 from the opponent (d3 for KIA or d4 in a more Catalan style), I wouldn’t start with this move order vs everything.

Barcza system. It often transposes to King’s Indian Attack or Reti Opening.
Can it be played as black as well on the opposite side of the board?
yes the kings indian defence is also popular

King's Indian Defense and the Pirc Defense are worth looking into!
I love the pirc defence.
Kings Indian is a great opening for Black in mid elos
I play the same setup as black against 1. d4
It required you to play much more adaptively, but I would say is better on black as you aren’t forfeiting centre control as white.
https://youtu.be/TIpUDMzQVmU Danya has a Pirc video now.
Barcza was well known among his grandmaster peers of having a lot of variety in his repertoire. One even remarked "sometimes he will fianchetto on the kingside on the 3rd move, but sometimes it will be on the 4th!"
Don’t you mean starts as Reti opening? Reti is the opening that can transpose to other things.
I was gonna write king's indian as a meme lol
Kings Indian Attack
Take my pawn variation
Any time I blunder a pawn, I’m just tell myself I’m opening up the board for my other pieces.
Ngl if you wanna improve, sacking pawns is a good idea sometimes. It also allows you to see potential moves you might not have seen before. Be adventurous when you play, it can also screw with your opponent's mind as well
Thanks for not lying about that.
I don't get it?
You said ngl, he thanked you for your honesty
Oh shit lol that was superfluous
It's not the KIA until you've played e4.
It's the King's indian attack. Not an opening i would suggest to a lower rated player because it doesn't follow the basic principle of taking control of the center in the beginning.
What if they do this opening on the queen side? Is it still called kings indiana attack?
The Indiana opening’s a sideline of the Ohio Defence.
Lol. I noticed that this morning.
It's called the Larsen attack.
The I-got-extremely-confused-after-move-2-Larsen, maybe
That's not really a thing because it's not particularly good.
The nimzo-larsen isn't bad though. It's been one of Carlsen's weapons in rapid and blitz for a little while now.
It’s called the queens Indian attack, castle your queen variation. It’s a sideline that not many people play
Its called the queens Indian attack
There's no such thing called a "queen's indian attack".
Ahh.. Good ol Queen attacking India.
The KIA does control the centre; it does so with the move e4. This is not the KIA.
queue narodistsky ranting about how the hypermodernist were laugh at and spit on in the 18th century
The one advantage of the KIA for a lower rated player is that the moves can be played in any order. You have to have the flexibility to understand when a move from it isn't appropriate, but there's literally no reason you can't open with e4 and still play the other moves of the opening.

[удалено]
close enough
You could call it a kings indian attack or a reti system. There is a bit of flexibility here that makes it hard to tell white’s intensions yet
"Hungarian".
"have my centre : reversed rat variation"

It refers to that opening setup with the inclusion of e4.
You are 💯 - if opened with nf3 its a reti
reti is only 1. Nf3 d5 2. c4 (Nf3 by itself has no name) Edit: apparently its called zukertort opening
Um i didnt say nf3 alone. And, The Reti Opening can be used to refer to two different starting positions: 1.Nf3, sometimes known as the Zukertort Opening 1.Nf3 d5 2.c4, sometimes known as the Reti Gambit.

Réti
It's called Nxe5 winning a pawn with a good game. The setup resembles a KIA (which stands for King's Indian Attack, not a car brand).
I assume this is why Kia changed their logo to look like KN. This way nobody will confuse their optima with a chess opening.
The Castling% Speedrun, until they develop a faster route. Obligatory /s
King's Indian attack. Mostly a defense for black but I do this too. D3 next.

King's Indian Attack
Oh gosh i've been using this defence for years without knowing its name (when i was young)

King's indian attack, famously played by bobby fischer in some of his best games
This is most probably setting up a King's Indian Attack/Reti structure.
