I think you mean e3. e6 would be black’s move.
After e3, best play follows e6 Nh3 h6 Nc3 Bb4! Qh5 g6 Qb5 c6 Qxb7 f5! Ba6! Nf6! Bc8 0-0! f3 Ne4!? Kf1! d5!? Nxd5 Bxd2 Rd1 Qh4 g3 Qc4+ Rd3 f4! Nxf4! Qb4 c3 Qa4 b3 Qa3 h3 Qc1+ with a draw by repetition.

@Fiyah Nf3 e3 spam is superior to Nf3 Nd4 spam
Nf3 e3 is harder to keep white's advantage. I win around 80 to 90 percent nf3 nd4 games as white compared to only around 50 to 60 percent nf3 e3 as white. And nf3 nd4 is more complicated so you can improve more than nf3 e3 which is relatively simple. I do occasionally play nf3 e3 to keep variety, but usually I do nf3 nd4. Sometimes I enjoy being black more than white because it gives you more variety.

@NNWill let's also not forget our rating difference. Although I will admit I do tend to lose to weaker players more often than not because of my playing style.

E3 qh5 1-0 for white hehe

E3 qh5 1-0 for white hehe

ideal opening to learn tactics: nf3 nc3.

ideal opening for strategies: d4,e4,nc3 d4, nf3 nd4, nh3 e4,nh3 d4,(nh3 c3 lol),nf3 e4, nf3 d4,(e3 qh5 qxh7 line).

(spams)theoretical lines: e3 nf3, nf3 nc3, nh3 e3, nf3 e3, e3 nc3.

That's my opinion. maybe not sure but that's what I see in matches.

Nf3 e3 also has lots of tactics.

The question for the following line is: pawnitization of not? There are many lines where SF gives more than +3 even at large depth but are not winnable.

1.Nf3 f6 2.Nc3 c6 3.Nd5 cxd5 4.e3 e6 5.Nd4 Bb4 6.c3 Bxc3 7.Qh5+ g6 8.Qb5 Nc6 9.Qb6 axb6 10.Bb5 followed by 11.Bxd7 Rxa2 (it is not clear whether black should play Kf7 or Kf8; Kf7 is better for activating the Rh8 but white's Bb2 is then stronger).
