How about something obscure like the Benko gambit?

That's nowhere near obscure for an IM.

I am generally admitted to a public college but play both the italian currencies were saved by the euro and the bungmaster extensively as green, so I am comfortable with my sexuality and my cats.

This is what I got out of it.

His name is Francisco Hernandez from Costa Rica.

His FIDE rating card

I don't think he knows me very well, I've only played a couple of events here, and most of the games I have in online databases (as well as my games here) show a mix of 1.e4 and 1.d4 (though with more 1.e4 than 1.d4).

Too little information supplied. Generally the Velimirovic doesn't work against IM+ players tho, also 6.Bc4 Qb6 is easy for Black and ruins most of the attacking fun. Maybe some nice prepared sideline in Botvinnik, like 7.a4, might throw him off sufficiently to get to whoop his ass in the opening.

[Punker]

The Benko is an opening for black in response to 1.d4. I am white.

[RoundTower]

The first result I ever got against an IM was as white in some kind of Sozin sideline. So obviously it should work for you too.

[Punker]

What more information do you want?

I was thinking of going right for the jugular with the Ne5 lines in the Botvinik.

[exist]

i voted velimirovic because the botvinnik semislav is insanely complex. but then i read the responses and someone suggested prepping an obscure line the the botvinnik and i have to agree. that seems to be the best way to catch the IM in a dangerous, complex line that he doesn't know well.
