I think he means what do you do in response to those opening moves. What is your opening if you are white and what do you do inacresponse as black to the white e4 and d4 openings. I would like to answer but I myself do not know..haven't been playing chess long enough to have an opening repitoir as black. I am interested in the responses of this topic also.

will post a board with this lines later

Dont play the english will post my extensive black reptoire later as my white one is more based on reacting to the openents choice!

As an extra note what do people think of a sharp lines after 1 d4 tournement because you can set 1d4 as a game start position!

If white playes e4, as black I play e5 or c5. Both moves are meant to stop the pawn development to d4, while giving black some control of the center of the board.

White - d4

Black - answer d4 or e4 with e6, f4 with Fromm's Gambit and others ad hoc, depending on my mood at the time.

White: QDG exchange; KID Saemisch; Gruenfeld Spassky system; Ne5 vs the Slav; Botvinnik Semi-Slav. Just bumble along (generally unsuccessfuly) against the Modern Benoni and with a bit more luck vs the Benko and other Benoni systems.

Black e4: Caro Kann Capablanca variation.

Black d4: Main line Slav.

As white I always play e4. As black I play the French against e4 and Indian/Benko type openings against d4. As white I love playing the massively underated Centre (center)-game against e5 (e4 e5 d4 ed4 Qd4 Nc6 Qe3) and have beaten people rated as high as 2100 with it. I also like playing lots of gambits.

I like both e4 and d4, but I like d4 more.

Against d4, I play the QGA

Almost always e4 with Ruy Lopez.  Still early in my chess understanding, so I don't know the variations, but I usually start with some form of this opening

With black, I block pawn e4 with e5, usually trying to get knights out in defence of center and open lines for bishops

White 1. e4: Prefer Scotch, Italian, closed sicilian

Black 1. e4: Always e5 and prefer the Italian, Guiccio Piano or something like that

Black 1. d4: Slav defense

Black 1. c4: Tries with 1. ... c6 to steer it into a slav defense or some kind of Caro-kann
