If White opens with 1.Nf3, the Zukertort Opening, the game often becomes one of the d4 openings (
closed games or
semi-closed games) by a different move order (this is called
transposition), but unique openings such as the
Réti and
King's Indian Attack are also common. The Réti itself is characterized by White playing 1.Nf3,
fianchettoing one or both bishops, and not playing an early d4 (which would generally transpose into one of the 1.d4 openings). The
King's Indian Attack (KIA) is a system of development that White may use in reply to almost any Black opening moves. The characteristic KIA setup is 1.Nf3, 2.g3, 3.Bg2, 4.0-0, 5.d3, 6.Nbd2, and 7.e4, although these moves may be played in many different orders. In fact, the KIA is probably most often reached after 1.e4 when White uses it to respond to a Black attempt to play one of the
semi-open games such as the
Caro–Kann,
French, or
Sicilian, or even the
open games which usually come after 1.e4 e5. Its greatest appeal may be that by adopting a set pattern of development, White can avoid the large amount of opening study required to prepare to meet the many different possible Black replies to 1.e4. ==English Opening (1.c4)==
