On the opening lines - 1400-200 Training Diary

So after my last tournament results, I was pretty happy but I have noticed some areas to improve on.  There were a few areas in the opening in my draw, and the loss where I was grasping for the correct ideas.  In the loss, this proved fatal, and I should have lost the draw, it was a horrible game. 

Drawing from Silman's latest article, I want to tighten up the lines I play.  Specific lines that play to my strengths, not just the general opening, and openings that prevent me from playing to my weaknesses. 

Strengths:

• Attacking play
• Positional squeezes
• Imagination
• Defensive ideas

Weaknesses

• Allowing opponent too much counterplay
• Pawn play
• Complicated Rook and pawn endings

I play a lot of different openings but I want to look for lines that are:

• Solid
• Easy to understand the positional plans
• Doesn't give away huge amounts of counterplay
• Middle game guides the endgame plans

Here are some of the openings I currently play and or am interested in playing as White

• Ruy Lopez
• Scotch Gambit
• Kings Gambit
• Kings Indian Attack
• Colle System
• Reti
• Nimzovitch System (e4 c4 d3 Ne2 f4/b4)
• 1.d4 - but no specific ideas

As black

• French - no specific variations
• Caro Kann
• Scandinavian
• Nimzo/Bogo Indian
• Pirc
• Modern
• Nimzovitch
• Ruy Lopez

I still want to play these openings, but I want to find some lines in these general openings that play to my strengths.
