I was looking at 1. Nf3 Nf6 2. b3. What do you guys think about it? Seems to have a healthy score after about 5-10 moves. 😉

Looks like a Nimzo-Larsen or a Reti, which is fine.

As long as you have the positional understanding to play the game that way, I'm sure you will throw lots of people off.

Very useful against ppl who have problems to understand positional fineses of such kind of positions.
