On 1 c4 I usually play g6 , and , if White plays d4 sooner or later , I get a KID
Now , if he plays only d3 , Black has the choise between a Leningrad set-up , if W does not play e4 , and a Benoni / Closed Sicilian set-up , where the White set-up is not optimal

Assuming that we are talking about Whire's set-up with c4/d3/e2/Nf3/Nc3/Bg2/00 against Black's Nc6/f6/Pe5d6g6/Bg7/00, then Black's easiest approach IMHO is to insert a5 and axb4, play quietly in the centre with h6/Be6/Ne7(in reply to b5)/Qd7 or c8, and then respond to developments. Watch out for pressure on d6 from Ba3 and Qb4 - ..Nd7, coming to c5, is sometimes a good move, as (after ...Bh3) is ...Qe6. Don't go for it on the king-side unless White has wasted time with Re1/Bh1 and left your bishop at h3 - this is quite dangerous for White imho. 

It's true that this approach focusses on equalising first, but that's life.

I have no idea. I only wanted to point out, that you might get some ideas by looking at games from the Closed Sicilian.

, that's the position, reversed, i was talking about, however I'm not sure I like a4 (...a5) and Re1 (...Re8). Should this be the best try? I mean if black plays ...Nf6 before ...f5, but his idea is attack in the king's side this is a considerable lose of time considering the position isn't defined in the center. 

Pd. In the game I was hoping for x.d4 and play a Fianchetto KID Simagin Variation

There's some good stuff on this subject at the beginning of Mark Dvoretsky's School of Chess Excellence Vol.3 Strategic Play.  Check it out.

Maybe. Ribli-Andersson, Skara 1980 (topplayers then) saw 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.g3 g6 4.Bg2 Bg7 5.d3 d6 6.Nf3 Nf6 7.0-0 Rb8 8.a4. There are also the famous games Spassky-Geller, Candidate match 1968 (Spassky included f2-f4 of course).

But it's a strange kind of closed sicilian reversed with knights on f6 and c6.

You might take a look at the Closed Sicilian as well: about the same positions, colours reversed.

Soltis book is good in c4,d3,e4 structure but i think not in c4, d3, e2-e3 with idea b4 and b5. I have lost my last OTB game in this line with black and I don't want this could happen again :-D. I know basically that this position is very subtle, and play should be very progressive. I mean black can launch an attack on the king's side but must be careful about what's going on in the center. In my game, I had the option to play c5 consolidating,  locking the queenside and adding control in the center, but played a g5 in the wrong moment..., I think that what matters is getting the feeling of the position.

There are some specilized books on English with 1...e5 that covers these lines, for instance the one by Carsten Hansen. That and similar books are more about moves than ideas, though.

White can play these lines in different ways. One way is to play Nf3, g3, Bg2, 0-0 and launch an attack on the queen's side with b4 as soon as possible. Another way is to play c4, d3, e4, g3, Bg2, Nge2, 0-0 with a Botvinnik set up. The center is quite firm and white can play on both wings (or for d4 if possible). White can also try d3, e3, Nge2 structure which is more fluid.

If white does not play d4 or e4, black can often quickly get e5 and f5 in, but since the center is not fixed, a flank attack has to be careful, otherwise white strikes in the center.
  

Don't check me with no lightweight stuff.

Hi people,

I would like to know where to find information about how to play against white in this structure. I've been looking at Soltis' book (Pawn Structure in Chess) but it doesn't clarify it to me.

Thx
