    I play e4- and I hate to face the french, or the kan/taimanov, or the Pirc, or the scandinavian.  Really, I don't like things which create a kind of closed game in general.

    As White, I play both 1. e4 and 1. d4, and I don't really hate any Black responses.

    As Black, I played 1...e5 but I hate Spanish, so I switched to Sicilian.

    Simply hate to see the Sicilian, gives me headaches to think how to break it! I love the Ruy lopez and my opponents fall a lot on it! French gives me shivers

    I love seeing the Sicilian and playing an anti-Sicilian against it. I like facing the English as well, and starting off with a mirrored game since it seems to confuse most of the players that I've faced. I enjoy playing the Advanced Variation of the French as black.

    I hate playing against the Petroff, and have been lately starting off with the Bishop's opening to avoid it. I also mildly dislike facing 1. d4, for the simple reason that I haven't had the chance to read a book on the KID yet, even though I play it. I've been busy reading middlebook games instead, and seeing 1. d4 reminds me that I'm behind schedule, in terms of studying!

    I  am wondering if someone can suggest how to learn openings using chess.com.  I am new to this concept of everything being computerized.  how does a person use the computer to learn an opening?  Also what do you do when the oponent plays an unexpected move to a "book" opening?  Thank You.

    I love playing the Benoni, KID, and Najdorf. I hate to play against the Caro Can and French.

    I am a 1. e4 player and too old to "restart" but if I had it all to do over again--I would open 1. c4  The English Opening. 

     

    Do not like to face that opening...

    I play against e4 using sveshnikov= I like to play  e4 c5 nf3 nc6 d4 as black. My favorite white one is v.s a hedghog setup normally coming out of a Nimzo indian 4.Qc2 c5. I hate it when my opponent plays 1.d4

    You know in German the Italian Game is simply called Italian and the Ruy Lopez is called Spanish.

    Most dreaded..hmmm...

    The Catalan is fairly difficult, especially in CC. But I really dislike playing against stuff like 1.f4, its a little boring.

    Favourite is the open sicilian as black.
