But what, come to think of it, is the best white has after 1.a3 a6 ? Any white openings that work extra well after that?

It feels like ...a6 is useful for black pretty often (hence 1.a3), but a3 not as often for white in normal openings.

Now i played alot of 1.a3 games and some of them where interestning. Whats its annoying is that in most of games i had to face a reversed londonsystem and i hate playing against the londonsystem. I think i just go back to 1.e4. I miss the open sicilian. Thanks for good tips everyone:)
