most aggressive line against franco sicilian? french benoni?

In trying to play both the alapin diemer against the french and smith morra gambit against the sicilian, I'm finding that my stats are pretty bad in this more positional than tactical line. i'm 3:3 in 1.e4 c5 2.d4 e6 3.c3, but hate pawn chains and crave a more open position. 3.d4 is the french benoni, and it looks to have "the best stats" as well as being the most popular reply. 

I've never played it as I don't like getting into pawn battles as I tend to get into more trouble with them than out of.

what are all your opinions on adopting this system for a gambit loving attacker like me as well as the most aggressive continuations I should look into if I do switch to this line?

this looks to be the strongest performing "main line", but as a Bc4 lover, I've just never been a fan of "short bishop hops"

Bd3 looks better to me because at least it attacks the h pawn in a castle. I'm guessing Be2 is about giving one's bishop flexibility to go to either flank as needed. I REALLY don't like Bb5 knight pins. they "waste one's best bishop" by my style where the king's bishop is best for attacking 0-0s. 

i'm not a fan of black's queenside pawn chain here as it seriously inhibits my mobility. i'm the kind of player who'll trade a bishop or knight for a pair of pawns, especially in an occupied castle just to get them out of the way. i call them "can opener attacks"

i have to figure something out here as frenchies just refuse to take pawns. i quit the monte carlo because of it, and am similarly frustrated black like to deny the alapin diemer too.

trappy, open & double edged positions are what I'm after. the riskier the better! i feel I'm generally better than most opponents in double edged positions as I'm a pure attacker with terrible positional instincts. if a position is double edged, I can both find tactics as well as SEE threats by my opponent better than i can in quiet positions that I trip up badly in. tactics are my chess language.

the falkbeer counter gambit is black's strongest performing reply against king's gambit, but i eat it up WITHOUT THEORY and kick alekhine butt at 100%, so far with the "50:50" krejcik, because it lets me "do MY thing"... attack f7 asap

Chess.com mislabels a lot!

There is no such thing as the "French Benoni".

There is the Franco-Benoni, but that is not your position.  The Franco-Benoni is 1.e4 e6 2.d4 c5 3.d5 (Not 3.c3).

The position after 1.e4 e6 2.d4 c5 3.c3 OR 1.e4 c5 2.c3 e6 3.d4 is simply a variation of the Alapin Sicilian.  If 3...d5, the main line, then 4.exd5 is an independent line of the Alapin Sicilian that could easily transpose to a line of the Exchange French.  If White plays 4.e5, it is a direct transposition to the Advance Variation of the French Defense.

I'm going by lichess labels, and I used the sicilian move order because i'm try to build my smith morra book today, but I see it via the french more often, and am 0 for 6 in it, i think, not playing d4. lichess calls 1. e4 e6 2. d4 c5 the franco benoni.

via the sicilian move order I posted here, 2 e6 is the "franco sicilian" and my stats are actually 0:9, which is why I'm trying to improve there, and 3.d5 is the "benoni defense: french benoni"

naming conventions EVERYWHERE can get messed up. i still don't see why 1.e4 d5 2.e5 isn't simply called the scandinavian advance and get really annoyed when the scandinavian gambit proper 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Nf6 3.c4 c6 4.dxc6 Nxc6 is called the pavnov transfer when it's not yet a pavnov and used to be called the scandinavian gambit up until the icelandic came along anyways

as to playing e5... not going to happen EVER! i hate playing the advance against anything, have had hideous results with it, and despise blocking my lines of attack with my own pawn. i'd rather exchange my e pawn to start ripping a position open any day. trading off all central pawns is fine by me if there isn't a QxQ castle grab involved unless I'm doing the grabbing

wearing my giants cap BTW. hate the new jack logo and red uniforms these days though

Q: what's the difference between a DOLLAR bill and a Buffalo Bill?

A: you can always get 4 quarters out of a dollar!

I’m confused, did I just see a Sicilian player not capture on d4?

seems like everyone wants to run from gambits these days

This line isn't worth too much analysis because the higher the rating, the more certain 2... cxd4 is from your opponent. At the beginner level it's like 60%, at the master level 99%.

Well... if you play the Smith-Morra Gambit already, why not:

You could play 6. Nf3 (presumably Be7 attempting to castle) 7. h4 before committing your bishop. I don't know how viable this is, but if Black allows you to run that h-pawn up the board with 7... 0-0, it's going to be hard staving off that attack, especially with how limited the space is in Benoni structures for Black.
