In chess, I have realized that I feel very confident playing with the opening:
1.c3
2.g3
3.h3
and usually, I continue by fianchettoing my bishop and putting my king’s knight on f3 (4.Bg2,5.Nf3).
I also end up with a very good pawn structure.So, any critiques(other than the fact that I am weakening my queen’s knight)? What are the main weaknesses of this opening?

it may be 1.c3
I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it, although I would omit 3.h3. The only thing that does, is take away g4 from a knight or bishop, but there’s not much to attack if you’re going to play g3 and Bg2 anyway (no annoying pins on the queen). The pawn may become a target for black though, if he continues with d5, Bf5, and at some point Qd7.
For the rest 1.c3 is unambitious, but not wrong. If you compare it with starting with 1.Nf3 2.g3 3.Bg2 (the King’s Indian Attack), then white would still have the option of playing c4. But in that case the other knight is usually developed to d2 anyway, so at least I wouldn’t worry about taking the c3 square away from the knight.
In summary, I think you can forget about getting any advantage out of the opening, but you should be able to achieve a solid, flexible position. On the other hand, the same will go for black.
