Is there a name for these positions?

Is there a name for either the black or white position shown below, so I can research that kind of opening setup?

(I stopped short of castling, as the choice of long or short castling would depend on what the other player was up to.)

Thanks!

Thanks, BigDogg. I thought it looked pretty solid and well-coordinated, but I see your point.

Try to get a bit of activity rather than Bishop blocking central pawns development. At the 1200-1500 level try some openings with a twist i.e. the O’Kelly Variation (2...a6)

O’Kelly Variation not limited 1200-1500 rating BTW

Thanks for the advice, @congruent. I watched part of the video and will finish it later.

You both have fianchetto'd bishops so it would be a fianchetto position. The two bishops are aiming at each other but pieces are in the way but if those pieces move, whichever color is on move can take the other bishop. If a fianchetto's bishop can have that big diagonal it would be a strategic advantage.

Black didn't play A6 in the posted position.

looks like king's indian attack for white.

for black it could be queen's indian defence vs d4 or owen's defence vs e4.
