      What if he plays this opening, because his opponent thinks that he would play a weird variation, And prepares for all the weird variaton, But his oppenent isn't actually prepped for this, So then he thinks that his enemy would think but then he actually goes back to square one.

      ​@@areebaftab5778 Wtf is the rook doing on e3? It only effectively controls squares from one direction (forward), unlike bishops, which can control in two directions. And rooks are much better in the endgame (why it's worth 5 points), so you won't want to trade it off for a minor piece in the middlegame. Not to mention that because it's worth more than a minor piece, it's easy to be attacked and you have to spend tempi to move it.
