1. e4 c5 2. Nc3 Nc6 3. g3 g6 4. Bg2 Bg7 5. d3 d6

This was a Sicilian, Closed variation from the get-go. There are so many KIA mislabels on this site. Here's a basic explanation: https://chesspathways.com/closed-si...

Here's a bit more: https://vassilko3edu.ucoz.com/news/...

Note that Black plays ...e6 before ...d6 in this game. That would be a poor reason to label this a KIA.

From an advertisement: "1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.g3 g6 4.Bg2 Bg7 5.d3 d6

Spassky’s treatment was more aggressive, very often playing with an early f4 followed by Nf3, while Smyslov was more cautious and preferred to develop his pieces with Be3 and Qd2 followed by Nge2."
