A little frustrated

My previous post did not help me much upon deciding my opening. Therefore, this time I am adding another option, the  

King's Indian Defense!

For those who are reading this first time, the other two options are French Defense and Sicilian.

Note: I plan to use the KIA as white, if it gains your approval.

Why don't you try them out and see what you like?

Nobody else can really help you, they are all strong openings.

But the kings indian is a defence to 1. d4, the French and Sicilian are responses to 1. e4.

How about using the KIA with white, Scottrf?

Well Fischer used it, why not look at some of his games, and see if you like the positions he gets. Apparently it's a decent choice if you don't like long opening lines, but I think the only real way to see if you like it is to try it. I've never played it so can't help myself.

all of them including the KIA are fine opening choices. you shouldnt worry too much about theoretical recommendations. 

As scott said its entirely up to the individual on which is most suitable.

Play which ever ones your games allow to be played and see which you like.  One or two games won't really like reveal much to you besides what makes sense and what doesn't.  None of the ones mentioned are like unsound or simple, not to my understanding anyway.  A lot of people that play KID also play KIA, also alot of KID players seem to also like the Dragon.  But all these openings are very popular and it's not fair to generalize.

Rapidwurst, i think that your advice is the best. Thanks
