This variation looks promising against a variation where white plays an early Be3 thereby giving you a d5 break with tempo due to the fork on d4. If white reserves the Be3 move opting for a kingside attack this may not be so effective.

never seen this before

Its a great weapon against somebody used to playing normal Sicilian. Once you understand the stategic concepts the opening practically plays itself.

Just need to understand the idea behind this opening. Surely white will have some surprises for black in this variation

This is called the Closed Sicilian since there is no immediate opening of the center as in regular Sicilian games. Spassky previously used this opening to maul down Geller and Larsen in the candidates matches en route to winning the world championship. if you try to understand its structural and stragetical concepts including the attacking possibilities, a regular Sicilian player would have discomfort facing you.

if your gonna do thing King Indian Defense, do it in the begining of the game so you can focus on what your opponents streangths and weaknesses are, so you understand how to breakdown his defenses
