This can transpose to a variety of reversed openings such as reversed alekhine, reversed pirc/modern and the reversed benoni. It can also transpose to the english, the reti and the KIA. AFAIK, the move g3 has no independant value.

GM Bent Larsen, was really something; what a brilliant and beautiful game.
