ECO: A5
This is the Old Indian Defense. Play is much the same as in the King's
Indian, and Black sometimes ends up playing ...B(e7)-f8-g7 anyway. White
does not have the target pawn at g6, which is the point of many attacking
lines in the King's Indian Defense. On the other hand, Black accepts a
less active post for the King's bishop.
