PAWN RIOT has submitted 6.Be3, leading to the following position.
This is the beginning of the Yugoslav Attack in the Sicilian Dragon.
Feel free to consult your opening manuals/databases.
I really don't have much to say myself. I'll just vote.
6. ... Bg7

whats wrong with Ng4 attacking his dark bishop? He will eventually play f3 making this impossible. If we can trade a knight for his dark bishop won't our fianchetto be that much stronger? My apologies if this falls into an opening trap, I never play this opening. This is not a vote, simply a request for an explanation.

You should really just play ...Bg7, and if he plays f3, play ...0-0 or ...Nc6 to speed up the process.
P.S. I know someone's going to repeat that first sentence with a joke on me, but I'll leave it in anyway. 🙂

Ng4 is a bad move! After Bb5+ say bye bye to the game.
7...Nc6 8. Nxc6 bxc6 9.Bxc6+ Bd7 10. Bxa8
or 7...Bd7 8. Qxg4 (Bd7 is pinned).
I vote to stick on the main line for a while
Bg7.
