It's a book sort of thing.  Off the top of my head I think it's been played by a certain Kosten.
  Cheesy. Thanks. No, I was not under the impression of me being original.
  
The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

Yes, this made it into Kosten's legendary tome as the recommendation in the Dragon Reversed. I'm also faily sure Aronian played this line a few times.

How about the Dragadorf Reversed?

When playing through the first moves of Anand-Topalov (11th game) I wondered how well Knight e4 would be placed on c4 instead. In other words, is a Dragadorf with colours reversed a viable idea?
The move order should be something like 1.c4 e5 2.g3 Nc6 3.Bg2 Nf6 4.d3 d5  5.cxd5 Nxd5 6.Nf3 Be7 7.0-0 0-0 8.a3 followed by b4, Nbd2 and Bb2.
Of course 4...Bc5 and 4...Bb4+ (probably 5.Nbd2) have to be taken into account.
Any opinions?
