I'm looking for reasonably sound openings/defences that force my opponents to think on their feet. Has anyone had any success with this opening (Old Benoni Defence) as black?

My old copy of MCO calls this the Schmid Benoni - I wanted to check out what happens after dc because it looks like black is palying the 'Alfred Wolf' gambit but without a move.
Suggestions are Qa5+ and e6 but no mention of g6 (which is how I would play the 'Alfred Wolf'😉.
If white plays 2 e4 it may transpose into a sicilian of this nature. 3 ...e5 seems ok, since 4 Nxe5 is horrendous. ...Qc7 might have been a better 4th move.

Hope this makes more sense!
