prep against d4 d5 e3

Just a developing move developing your queen and trying to go for a attack on the king

I feel like Nd3 in that position isn’t so good because after e6 by black, he threatens c4 with tempo which makes blacks queenside attack much faster.

Hardly an original game: this kind of strategy against the Stonewall Attack, which promises Black at least a slight positional advantage,  is known since ages.

The Stonewall Defence is a good, solid option for Black: it works positionally because of the relative inactivity of the fianchettoed g2 bishop. Quite ironically, the Stonewall Attack, with a tempo more, does not work because Black has not played ...g6 yet, and can comfortably deploy both his bishops at their favorable squares.

Recently I saw a course on Chessable, named "The Yaac" or something like that- it's a course for white advocating the Stonewall Attack.

Out of curiosity, i looked at what is suggested against the above line. The suggestion is shocking: "Black is better, but it is unlikely that you will meet this over the board".

Pure genius, don't you agree?

I suppose that's true, but both players lose a tempo doing so. Black for having to develop his knight himself and white for having to move the knight.

Mr.pfen's suggestion is also quite convincing.
