KID Smyslov Variation

has any1 employed this opening as white? i use this as my main weapon against the grunfeld and KID and it's been a pretty good success against the indians. This opening along with the french are the 2 main sources for gm akobian as well which is why i admire his play and his lectures on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UsyCJgyX6mQ heres one against david pruess!

Here's the variation for the KID and Grunfeld

Also, i need some imput on this variation of the french variation which i havent studied and havent had a good reputation against.If anyone is unaware, for most of my opening theory i follow the number 1 recommendations for engines but i wasnt comfortable with the positions that arose after qg4 and so far, so i was wondering how you would prepare against this variation of the french

As far as the KID thing goes, you may want to play 4.Nf3 instead of 4.Bg5, as early ...c5 ideas tend to easily neutralize 4.Bg5. But the Smyslov is decent. With the pawn on e3 and all, lots of KID players don't know how to counter white's rather solid center. Although it probably doesn't yield an advantage at all and a really good KID player will probably best a lower rated, it's by no means refuted and is one of those openings where both sides "play chess."

Having used this as White against the KID, I think its fairly drawish. Black gets fair play in the center with c8-f5 and c7-c5 and the game usually locks up. Black often does not opt for Akobian's line since this is a less known variation of the KID.
