Good game. Congrats on the win. The reason that the King's Bishop is fianchettoed in these lines is that black's Q Bishop is a problem piece. It is often hard to find a role for it.
Whenever I face an opponent that doesn't fiancheto his K B I immediately fiancheto my B on b7, and proceed to exchange it for any other white piece. I would suggest that you go over a couple of Dutch games to see the benefit of g3 followed by Bg2.
Another reason for the fianchetto, is that most of Black's plans revolve around a K side attack. The white B gives more defensive support for the W K.
Thanks wang! Hey, this was not a bad start for the Patzer Boyz :)
Thanks also for the pointers on the Dutch and the reasons behind g3. I haven't studied it much, but I will follow your suggestion and look at some games to see how that structure is best handled.
