Golubev you say.. I'll search about that..

As for naming the variation, I would prefer "Dzindzi variation" from Roman Dzindzichasvhili (how on earth do we spell that).. 

He has made a 30 minutes video on that variation showing some lines (even less than what I have on my PGN).. His evaluations are more extremely favorite for white - "black is terrible", "black had to be drunk to play this etc.  " -, fritz disagrees with him, but on his own games he proves that the system is very dangerous to say the least.

Yes I see that it is not the same line that Anonymous mentions but it has some related lines inside, so it might be interesting to some people..

I've mentioned that it's not top stuff, I'm a complete amateur but I think the lines that I give for White are OK for <2000 ratings..

If anyone wants to add stuff or change stuff to this PGN and post it back, it would be great.

Cheers

The line you mainly analyze isn't the line we are talking about. You briefly mention the ...Nfd7 line but with white already having played c4. The line I am talking about is where white tries to meet ...Nfd7 with c4: 1 d4 Nf6 2 Bf4 g6 3 e3 Bg7 4 Nf3 d6 5 h3 0-0 6 Be2 Nfd7 7 e4.

7 c4 will probably just transpose to the complicated and unclear line I give above after 7...e5 8 Bh2 Nc6 0-0.

Actually, white often plays c4 in the London System against the King's Indian when black plays for ...e5.

Yes, that is the line I am talking about but I think the best move-order for both sides is 1 d4 Nf6 2 Bf4 g6 3 e3 Bg7 4 Nf3 d6 5 h3 0-0 6 Be2 Nfd7 7 e4. I know black has other options than 6...Nfd7 but this move is very interesting and I think needs analyzing. 

The book Win With the London System also thinks that white can get an edge by playing 7 0-0 e5 8 Bh2 with the normal idea of attacking on the queenside with c4. However, the line 8...Nc6 9 c4 f5 10 Nc3 g5 is very complicated. 11 dxe5 dxe5 12 Nd5 has been recommended as giving white an advantage but I'm not totally convinced. This is why I am wondering if the much safer 7 e4 is sufficient to give white an advantage.
 

Now this is a question worth answering. Still it would have been nice if you had showed what sequence you exactly have in mind.
1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 3.Bf4 Bg7 4.h3 d6 5.e3 0-0 6.Be2 Nfd7 7.e4 perhaps? Then I doubt if this is more than equal. White's play has not exactly been forcing. Moreover Black has other options but 6...Nfd7.
