I enjoy this opening. I am often successful with it.

 
4. a3
I think it is not frequently used and is difficult to attack.

18... Bxe5 19. Rab1 Nxd2 20. Qxd2 Qxc5
Retreats with his queen.

He loses a lot of time doing God knows what with his rook.

22... g5 23. Ra2 a5 24. Qd2
More lost time with his queen.

 
24... Rad8 25. Qe2 h6 26. Rc1
Again, lost time.

 
26... f4 27. Qb5
Had I not had superior position on the board my next move could've cost me the game. I was unaware that my queen was undefended.

Ouch. However, my lead pawn is ready to make white very uncomfortable.
