Could someone please confirm the main statement of this article, i.e. the position after 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 is called "East Indian Defence" ? I have looked on Google, in Gallagher's Beating Anti-King's Indians and in Golubev's Understanding the King's Indian but I have not find confirmation of that. Has someone a relevant source about this name ?

All of the links quoted above are dead. "East Indian Defence" is not found in any authoritative source on opening nomenclature. Besides the Oxford Companion and online databases, I can't find a single source that uses this term. In addition, the opening has no independent significance and would not satisfy
WP:GNG anyway. Propose merging to
Indian Defence.
