I like to add that in lines with the Queen at e3 I often play some sort of early pawn to h3 to rule out Ng4 manouvers.

Thanks for your comments and input. I agree that open can lead to more exciting chess but most of my games in e6 g3 has lead to either a good version of g3 Taimanov where several of blacks more active setups are ruled out. Or else they played a line with d5 where I played exd5 followed by d4 where I think white has the more easy to handle position. I have also met some sort of transposing to h5 line in g3 Taimanov when playing online vs titled players but I realy like to met it.

About kill the game line I can post it here. The line starts after 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Qxd4 Nc6 5.Qe3 g6 6.c4 Bg7 7.Nc3 Qb6. I met it in corr chess and I followed the base and analysing with the computer I found several improvment for black over the base recommendation some moves later in so I played a slight diversion some move later in to maintain an equal position.  The base more or less gave one single long line claiming += but black had better moves a long the way at several points. It maybee not kills the game in over the board chess since some moves are difficuly to find but it kills it in corr chess. The early Nf6 line have I actaully met in several online games and I play Be2 Nc6 Qe3 system there since the line above is ruled out. I also play a Qe3 setup vs a6.

I took a while but my results are getting better and better with my new lines, Now I suddenly has started to win or draw titles player in swedish onlien divisions regulary in these new lines. The hardest line master in my repertouarr are the Nc6 Bb5 lines. Its not enough to learn theory one must also have pratical experince to grasp move orders and how to play in several sharper line when playing vs good players.

Thanks for the warning. I never searly considred it. My idea was to acoid Dragon prober that Imet in a few games with g6  move order. Now I realy nead to rethink a bit and analyse Qa5 for my self.

I have tried the lines in a few online blitz games and I has had mixed results, some wins some draws and some loses vs hiegher rated player.

A funny part was in my clubs online blitz arena  championship vs a local FM.  I won the first time we played I won after 2.. e6 3 g3. When we met again I won in 2 .. d6 with Qxd4 system and the third time we met (must be a bug a Lichess since I met him 3 times with the same side and some others not even once) he played 1 .. e5 instead and he won.

I can also conslude that in 2 .. Nc6 3 Bb5 blacks most common moves appers to be either g6 or d6. After that e6 and Nf6 are equal popular and I met Qb6 a few times.

Yes its more work than for example my anti 2 .. d6 lines combined with my anit e6 lines but more mangable than every Open Sicilian than can arrive after 2 .. Nc6 like Svechnikov and Kalashnikov. Some lines like Classical or several irregular lines are rare to met so I never learn the correct move orders.

Maintaining a repertoire after 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 will require a lot of work as well. Do you think that worth the effort?
If not you may consider 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 because after 3...e6 you'll enter your fianchetto lines again with 4.d4. Instead 3...Nf6 (or 3...g6 4.Bb5) 4.Bb5 g6 (d6 5.e5!?) 5.Bxc6 is probably what you want with 3.Bb5. And 3...d6 4.d4 cxd4 5.Nxd4 e5 6.Nde2 is an effective Anti-Sveshnikov, once again with a kingside fianchetto.
There is probably some snag somewhere (perhaps you don't like 3...e5) as I haven't systemetically checked all transpositions.

That looks like a modern chess repertoire to me. 

Go for it!
