We really don't need your profile pic to figure out you support trump. a3 is a perfectly playable move in any level of play!

My political affiliation has nothing to do with your subject. 

I wonder why we dont see Carlsen ,or other GM's playing 1.a3 in OTB tournament play?

You should get together with that Lyudmil guy, staples, and all the other "online players" that have solved chess.  You guys could revolutionize the game, and make a fortune!

At any level it's perfectly playable.

In blitz, bullet, and for fun?  Sure why not.  But their is a reason you dont see 1.a3 played at the highest levels.

Carlsen has found an improvement to 1.a3, which he has employed in several blitz games: 1.f3!!

Rumours have it that his inspiration for playing this move was Trump.

Can we all just agree that this is an effective move against Chess newbies. I mean literally the most basic, yet universal, opening is the center pawns moving up two, with the knights enclosing the rear. With this you can effectively throw new players off due to its relatively unknown status.
