dear  forum staff and members

  I  am   TRYING TO IMPROVE MY CHESS GAME  SINCE  MY STROKE  AND I HAVE  BEEN  TRYING TO  GET  SOME VIEWS  ON THE BEST  OPENING FOR  WHITE  THAT I  MAY  BETTER  STUDY FOR FAST DEVELOPMENT AND TACTICAL ADVANTAGES.

I'M  TRYING TO LEARN OFF YOUR  COLLECTIVE EXPERIENCE AS I  DO NOT PROFESS TO BE A  GREAT CHESS PLAYER.

AS  WHITE , I HAVE BEEN USING THE  SCOTCH OPENING , BLACKBURNE ATTACK

FOR SOME TIME NOW,  I  LIKE  AND HAVE EXPERIMENTED  WITH THE  RUY LOPEZ, CLOSED(C92) VARIATION,  THE  GIUICO PIANO   AND CLOSED  SICILIAN AGAINST  C4

SICILIAN.  I HAVE ALSO  TRYED  THWE  RETI, ZUKORTORT  , LOLLI AND FRIED  LIVER ATTACK.

OUT OF ALL OF THESE, I' M  UNDERCIDED  WHICH IS THE BEST TO  CONCENTRATE ON .

I HAVE  CHESSMASTER 10 AND FRITZ#11 AND DO TRY TO PUT IT ON THE HIGHEST  LEVEL AND  PLAY IT  AGAINST  THE OPENING I WANT TO PLAY USING ITS  INFINITIVE ANALYSI  GAME FUNCTION.

IN  CLOSING, PLEASE  FIND SOME TIME  AND GIVE ME YOUR  EXPERIENCED OPINIONS AND SUGGESTIONS.

Hi Tony!  Good to see you again.

I think you are taking all the right decisions at this point.  I had asked a similar question earlier and Bill Wall gave probably the best answer so far.  I'll see if I can find the specific link to that discussion and re-post it here.  But basically, when teaching new players, Bill will try to get his player to master just one or two openings then slowly introduce newer ones.

Might I suggest narrowing your choice of opennings to just two for white and two for black (one for e4 and one for d4) and get to a point where you feel you can confidently open with these.

I hope that helps! 

THANKS,  Inew  that I could count on  you  greersome, but  also i  was  looking for the name of the  openings out of the ones i  gave might work  best,,
