Nf3 or Ne2?

Hi, I am trying to get a bit of help on my openings...

In a position like that, is it better to play Nge2, or Nf3?

I would usually play Nge2, since it allows f4 in the future, while nf3 blocks that option. making me have to move it again.

On the other hand, Nf3 controls more squares, wether they be useful or not, and since e6 has been played, it cannot be bishop pinned. And if I attack, moving my knight to g5 is faster.

While on e2, I have to jump to g3, losing a tempo, but placing it in a better place on h5, or someday f5

So, which is better in your opinon? Thanks!

7.Nf3 seems pretty obvious to me.  You went to the trouble to control the center 2 center pawns vs. 1.  It seems counter productive to play 7.Ne2.

I wouldn't spend much time working on a dubious opening, 2...Nf6 is already a mistake by black that cedes the center without any compensation.  In that line 3.Nf3 is correct before playing e4, as it prevents ...e5 after 4...Nf6 5.Nc3, giving black play he doesn't deserve.  

As far as your question, Nf3 is much better in that position than Nge2, you already control the center and there is no pressing need to play f4, so place the knight on its most active and natural square, castle, and then use your lead in development and space to steamroll black.  

cool. thanks!

7.Nf3 but does 7.d5 work?

I agree with them, Nf3 is the correct way to go here. In most openings where Ne2 is played (like the Grunfeld to name one) is to prepare to meet Bg4 with f3 but here the DSB is blocked by the e6 pawn so Nge2 just seems counter-intuitive. and I don't think d5 works because of a6 attacking the Bishop, but I'm too lazy to analyze that line.

Black plays 7...a6

Still better for white.
