OH, THE HORROR!  OH, THE PAIN!

As you may know, I'm working on expanding my opening repertoire.  As part of the consideration, I'd like to know what my opponent least wants to play against.  BWAHAHAHAHA!!!

What opening do you least like to play against, and why?

I don't like to face the English, because it is a viable option I do not see that much.  I just play very drawish continuations against it.

I hate the Reti opening. It give me NO weak point to attack, while my opponent can "horse around".

And another one is if my oppnent is white, I don't like facing d2-d5.

I hate playing against the Grob as black... it throws me way off.  I also hate playing against the Kings Gambit (which is the main reason why I use it!).

 

As white I dislike playing against the Scandinavian... not because it scares me at all ... but because it feels so drawish... it's too simple.  I hate simple when I'm white.

 

Hope this helps :).

French exchange... I don't play the french simply because of it. Its not that I get beat by it, on the contrary, I do very well against it, Its just that its so boring! I'm about a 1600-1700 blitz player online and I SWEAR, against the french thats the only thing opponents around my level know how to play. I shrill in horror to see 2. Nf3 against my french, as my opponents almost always impulsively take on d5 the next move. 

I hate it... with a passion. Go sicilian defense.

Yeah, French is a very interesting opening, but White's ability to go down that drawish line is annoying. Then again, most time I play French as black, my opponents use the Advance Variation.
