The main chess community on .world has fuck all subs and I'm not asking reddit, so I'll brick my pipi, shit my pampers, and ask it here instead. Club has a (very friendly) blitz night coming up, and I'd like to scrape some points against the top player (who's about 2150 FIDE), who plays the czech benoni. To give context I'm about 1900, so much worse but in with a shot if I put something fun together. Any ideas for some neat lines to look at?

After 3..e5 play 4. g3 and fianchetto your bishop? Very rare move at master level (<1%) and has close to the same evaluation as 4. Nc3

I almost never face this opening, so cant even remember if I havre a line prepared

Thanks -- looks interesting. What would the difference be between that and playing e4 followed by the fiancetto (as is popular?)
