I do not usually play g3 based opening systems, preferring more direct openings. But I realise this is a gap in my chess opening knowledge, so I thought I would give it a try in a tournament I am currently playing in. Although the opening was a little inexact, the 'Catalan' bishop turned out to be the star of the show, emerging from g2 to help finish of Black, after an attempt to chase my queen backfired badly for Black.
