So happy it worked for you! yeah that's the thing, i play the KID too most games, and i used to always start with 1-...g6, but now i try more 1-...d6 and then choose between KID or tartakower. And i do the same against 1-e4, 1-...d6 more often than 1-...g6.
No one ever lets me play the classical rat (as Black) otb. 80% of the time after d4, d6, they play e4. So I end up with a Pirc or sometimes Hippo. I have played against 2. Nf3 and 3. a3 a few times so I end up fianchettoing the bishop. Not my favorite line but not too bad.
I get the 2-c4...e5 with black quite often, or 2-Nf3...g6 3-Bf4 London as well. If 2-e4 i also usually go pirc/moder or hippo like you. And once in a while i get 1-d4...d6 2-c4...e5 3-e3 and althought i called this third move "passive" on the video i gotta admit it´s a solid one, i think of it as a pretty decent choice lately even when i wouldn´t not play it with the white pieces.
I tried the white side after watching. Sounds good. Worked really well. I play the king's Indian against d4
