offbeat opening: the borg defense

Does anyone else play this? I was testing out random openings in blitz and I stumbled upon the borg.

Looking to get some established lines with this and work it into my arsenal. So far I have been just going for best moves off the opening looking to set up a queen side castle and light squared finachetto, paired with the open g file this gives me a ton of attacks on a king side castle.

I’m only about 1100-1200 rapid but have been doing really well with this so opening so far.

Sharp, very risky and difficult to survive for black. peshka.png
