1. c4, e5; 2. Nc3, Bc5; 3. e3 (your bishop now bites on granite, further opens up my pieces, also d4 and f4 are possibilites later) [I considered: Ne4 & Na4; however, then your Bishop simply moves and later-on my knight is a relatively easy target (the risk/return isn't there now - maybe later)] Also, if you bring your queen to f6, I can still counter it with Ne4, if you bring your queen to h4, I can counter with g3.
