3. Be2 - Tayler Opening

This opening is a bit passive and rare. The point of this move is to try and put Black off their comfort zone. But if Black is paying attention, they can get the upper hand. For these reasons, the Tayler Opening only gives white psychological advantage, just like in the Bongcloud or the Ware Opening.
