This to me is one of the best openings  because it offers many attacking options to be developed while at the same time is rock solid defensively is their a better opening for white if so what is it. It also avoids the sicilian defense which favours black according to statistics.

white has a lot of options with this opening depending on how Black responds.  for example, a Bird set-up with f4 and with b3 is possible. so is  a reversed queens indian set-up with b3.

I have stopped using this open if i am white, becuse it does not gain control of the center and often I find myself barricaded in. It is very passive.

At first glance it seems like a waste of time...unless you are forcing the other player to offense; as no piece is "expendable", it is very well protected while waiting in defense.

White just does normal moves, it will show how weak e3 is to e4.
