Overview

King's Indian Defense: Fianchetto Variation, Larsen Defense is a specific line in the Indian Defenses family (ECO E62), arising from a recognised theoretical position.

It begins with 14 plies and takes 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 g6 3. Nc3 Bg7 4. Nf3 d6 5. g3 O-O 6. Bg2 c6 7. O-O Bf5 to reach the canonical position.

The line refines King's Indian Defense: Fianchetto Variation, Delayed Fianchetto, which traces back to the root opening Indian Defense: West Indian Defense.
