1.f3 d5 2.c4 d4 3.b4 g6 4.g3

Demuth explains that the first time he encountered the position after 3...g6 he "naively" played 4.e3?! but an unpleasant surprise was uncorked after 4...e5! 5.Nxe5 Bg7 with some problems on the long diagonal. He did manage to win the game explaining, "blitz is blitz". But after 4.e3 e5 Black is not worse at all.
