Reversed Dragon

After 1.c4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Nf3 Nc6 4.g3, Black strikes with 4...d5, transposing into a Sicilian Dragon structure with reversed colours. White enjoys an extra tempo, which can be used to create lasting pressure with the typical Maroczy bind ideas or to launch a quick queenside expansion.
