Just by the way, I never meant that anyone should use this in a CC or long games, but it might be nice in blitz.

Also, Korch, I still don't think the the B on e3 is place very well. It would definitely be better on f4 (at least in my opinion 😉)
In blitz you can afford to play almost everything.

What useful thing will bishop do on f4 which he does not on e3 ? Attack queen side, when main target is king side?

I dont see how Bishop on f4 will "make blacks position a little more uncomfortable" or "prevent Black to castle queenside" as black can put their bishop on d6.
