Try to get a bit of activity rather than Bishop blocking central pawns development. At the 1200-1500 level try some openings with a twist i.e. the O’Kelly Variation (2...a6)
You both have fianchetto'd bishops so it would be a fianchetto position. The two bishops are aiming at each other but pieces are in the way but if those pieces move, whichever color is on move can take the other bishop. If a fianchetto's bishop can have that big diagonal it would be a strategic advantage.

I should have been more clear about each side's position being considered separately, instead of as part of the same game. Maybe I should have posted two different boards for clarity.
In general I meant to ask about positions with one fianchettoed bishop, both knights out (toward the center), and the Queen supporting a knight and bishop in the center, either from the Queen's or King's file.
Maybe I'll just call this the Semi-Modern. 😉
P.S. -- I have learned how often a Knight gets pinned against the Queen or King.
