I play it quite a few times too, its a very sound opening. But im only a novice.

Pitts you seem to have gained a move for black there on the normal moves :-) Anyway seriously the KID is a pretty good counter attacking defence with a lot of possibilities to morph into various lines. Note that d6 for black goes into the KID, black can also play d5 which is the Grunfeld which is a little bit different.

now you've got it. Don't know what your level of chess is but my opinion is it's a great opening to learn with, lots of imbalance and variety.
