King's Indian Attack - Standard chess #27

I played a standard chess game as white with time controls set at 15 minutes with a 2 second increment. The opening played was the King's Indian Attack. My opponent wants a French Defense, but I was in the mood for something else. So I opt for move 2. d3 preparing to make a series of universal moves that come in the King's Indian Attack setup. White establishes the thematic "space invader pawn" on e5 and looks to drift towards the enemy king with the minor pieces. Black typically should be seeking play on the queenside, however we have a mix of some play on the queenside by black along with a direct confrontation in the center.

I'm a self-taught National Master in chess out of Pennsylvania, USA who learned how to play from my father in 1988 at the age of 8.
