Aggressive Openings

HatePositionalChess

When I started studying chess some people recomending doing as many tactics puzzles as possible. I spend several days and nights doing tactics for hours. As a result though I am still not perfect on tactics I am considerably good. But when it came to playing games I noticed it is one thing to solve a tactics puzzle its another to play moves that lead to positions where there are tactics. After sometime I have created an Opening Repretoire that allow me to play agreesive openings. Please leave any suggestions if you have.

I start with 1.e4 then:

1...e5 2. f4 and Kings Gambit my favourite Opening.

1...c5 2.d4 Smith Morra Gambit

1...d5 2.d4 Transposes to Blackmare Deimer Gambit

1...Nf6 2.e5 Four Pawn Advance, difficult to play but the results are satisfoctory if not great.

1...c6 2.d4 d5 e5 Advance Variation of Carro Kann

1...g6 2. d4 Bg7 3.f4  I dont know what it is called but it works!

1...Nc6 2.d4  And Embrace the Nimzovitch Defence.

1...e6 2.d4 and mainly Korchnoi Gambit 

 

 

As Black I play against

1. e4 Either Yates Sicilian or 1...e5 after 2...f4 I go 2...d5 against Nf3 2... Nc6 and Ruy Lopez or Vinea or even Latvian Gambit, I know its pretty unsound but I only do it in blitz.

I have problem finding an agreesive responce to:

1. Carro Kann

2. Hypermodern Defence

3. Queen's Pawn Opening of all sorts

4. Bird Opening

5. English Opening

6. Reti Opening

What do you people suggest?????

Caro Kann; maybe Fantasy variation?

KG, SMG, BDG, oh yes, it would seem we have a thing or two in common :)

Thanks Robik, I have some experience of Dutch StoneWall what do you say about that?

Mainline_Novelty

Meh. Dutch Stonewall is more positional. I'd recommend the KID against 1.d4, or maybe the Noteboom.

1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e5 is agreat opening.

I am NOT a troll.

HatePositionalChess

And what against the most irritating g6 Bg7 defence?

150 Attack or Austrian Attack.

Just develop and ram pawns down the board.  That's more than enough to score 70%+ anywhere below 2000 against such dreck.

What exactly do you mean by Raming the pawns down the board? Should I get the c file and f file pawn involved in the first few moves before knights come out or should it be mostly about e and d file pawns? How to support pawns What to do after you reach 5 rank and can tgo to 6 rank without geting attacked by blacks pawns?

Against the kingside castle in case I still havent castled and Queenside is same its easy to push the h file pawn get an open h file and checkmate the king. But sometimes the opponet is determined not to castle before you and on your side. What to do then?

Against g6 Bg7 you can play English-like attack with Be3, Qd2, f3, and pawn storm on kingside. As compared to Rauzer (Yugoslav) attack against Dragon black does not have the dangerous counterplay on c file with the irritating exchange sac on c3 (if black plays c5 at some point white can close the centre with d5)

An example from my game:

Two queens promoted in one game, quite a good implementation of pawn storm :)

@HatePositionalChess: the Stonewall is not bad at all but if White is booked on it, he knows that you have one strong bishop and will do everything to exchange that piece and then your position is offering by far less chances

I say to the OP you should (perhaps) switch back to positional chess, because your game record in Blitz and Standard chess effectively sucks.

What's the point in being a bullet junkie?  Even your online rating appears much too low.

Time to go back to the drawing board.  You clearly need a different game plan.  Smile 

HatePositionalChess

Well, my record sucks because I have been playing on this site for 3 years before I knew what fork, pin or centre means! And I mean literarily from the time I didnt knew what was the importance of centre in chess! So my Blitz record despite 1500+ rating shows a record of -1000. But all my ratings are considerably higher then the begining 1200 chess.com gives and since I find myself beating higher and higher rated opponents day after day. In adition I usually try stronger opponents then me hence greater chances of lossing. On top of all that I am for now an amateur player! So I think this approach is good untill I understand tactics at a level where I just cant miss them. And I have spent hours at stretch doing tactics. I wont to use that hard work. If I play closed games I will never get to use all those Boden's Mate, Legal's Mate, Domino's Mate and all...

 

That being said Positional chess is more complex and needs deeper knowledge of each position. It is necesary but only after you first understand the basics. I believe every player first need to understand tactical chess and then move on to the positional concepts. And I am still in the first stage.

I would suggest the Sveshnikov Sicilian against e4; and the Modern Benoni against d4. Both defenses offer active piece play, and are abound in tactical possibilities.

I used to play the classical Benoni against d4. It lead to a pretty closed structure with rigid pawns on d6,c5, d4 and c4...
