Fischer's Suggestion: 3.h4!?
Bobby Fischer suggests the move 3.h4!? as an enterprising try against 1...g6 2.d4 Bg7, in his annotation to a game against Pal Benko. (Fischer played 3.Nc3 in the actual game.) The idea is to pry open Black's kingside by h4–h5 followed by hxg6 (...gxh5 would greatly weaken the cover to Black's king) with an ensuing kingside assault.
