Dodging the Sniper

By using the sequence 1. e4 g6 2. d4 Bg7 3 Nc3 c5, Black can tempt a Closed Sicilian player into positions that can transpose to Open Sicilians. The problem is that if White is not to be tempted into ambitious tries with dxc5, then the game can transpose to a regular Accelerated Dragon. In some cases, White can pick up a tempo compared to regular lines.

So 4. Nf3 Qa5 5. Be2 Nf6 6.0-0 cxd4 7. Nxd4 Nc6 . Now with 8. Nb3 White gains a tempo on a line where in the Accelerated Dragon, you first play Bc4 and then drop it back to e2.  So the game continued 8. .. Qc7 9.Be3 0-0. Here I used the extra tempo to punt 10. g4 which was met by 10. .. d6 11. g5 Ne8 12. f4 . The engine now likes being disruptive with 12. .. Bh3, but my opponent chose 12. .. a6. Now after 13. Nd5 Qd8 14. Bb6, I think that White has an edge.
