I finally watched Smirnov's youtube on the variation that my opponent used (1.b3 video 2). It's the variation where white isn't supposed to play 3.e3, but 3.Nfb followed by 4.d4. Seems the GM agrees with Swiss! Imagine that! I was supposed to fight for the center. 😀
Hopefully I'll remember it for next time.
Perhaps the better move order should be 3.d4, he doesn't show the exact same move order in the video.
