MNb, your last post had 6 000, which is impossible. Black can only Castle Kingside here, as the Queenside is still undeveloped.
Could you take another and a better look? 6.0-0-0 is a move for White and very possible, as the Queenside is completely developed.

1 d4 Nf6 2 f3 g6 3 e4 d6 4 Be3 Bg7 5 Qd2 with the idea of exchanging the pesky Bg7 as soon as possible.
Which is not the same as the Knight is still on b1. Vigus deals with this move order in the DW-book as well and recommends 1.d4 Nf6 2.f3 d6 3.e4 c5. So future opponents of LDZ know how to surprise him.
After 3...g6 4.Be3 Bg7 5.Qd2 0-0 White's best is 6.c4, transposing to the KID Sämisch. 6.Nc3 is inferior because of e5! 7.d5 (7.Nge2 exd4 8.Nxd4 d5! is a transposition to the Larsen-Philidor which favours Black) c6!, a brilliant discovery of Gennadi Zaichik. See his game against Yudasin in Kostroma 1985. This is the main reason why White must postpone f2-f3, the move LDZ loves so much.
After 6.Bh6 Black has Bxh6 7.Qxh6 c5 and Black is counterattacking while White has not even begun yet.

My experience has shown that most players don't know what to do once their precious Bg7 is exchanged. A few, but only a few, do. Thus, if you take out the Bg7, half of your problems vanish.
Taking that Bishop out too early adds to Black's defensive possibilities, as I both know from experience and from DW again.

In some games I manage to put a Knight on g3 after advancing the pawns to g4 and h4.
Too slow. After 1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.Nc3 g6 4.Be3 Bg7 5.Qd2 0-0 6.0-0-0 c6 7.f3 b5 only 8.h4 and 8.Bh6 Qa5 9.h4 set serious problems. Against 8.g4 Black has the strong Qa5 9.Kb1 Be6.

I lost count of how many games I won by exchanging the Bg7 and smashing through on the Kingside.
I am not entirely sure if my score is slightly more or slightly less than 80%. I can remember only two draws after Black's castling; no losses. All games classical time control.

So, the Be3+Qd2 attack (Argentine?) has my vote of confidence.
Argentinean Attack indeed, as Pilnik, Rossetto and a couple of other Argentinean players tried this attacking scheme as first.
