    1.d4 players, what is the defense you hate to see your opponent play?

    I'm a lowly class C/D player and openings rarely get played well at my level. However, the one I dislike the most is the Dutch, in almost all its forms.

    Tarrasch defense...

    Even after reading Boris Avrukh 1. d4 book I'm not very happy with hes solution against it and I have already managed to find some flaws in hes analysis. The tarrasch is just way to tricky!

    The Tarrasch Defense huh... I'm surprised because that opening seems to score incredibly poorly for black, especially after 4. cxd. 

     

    Do d4 players often encounter the english defense (1.d4 e6 2.c4 b6)?  Do you find it difficult to play against?

    Never bother with scores in chess, they rarely tells the truth behind the objective value of an opening. Tarrasch is a very difficult opening to play but also very difficult face in the hands of a strong black player.

    Since I know the english defense so well from blacks point of view I'm not to concerned playing against it as white.
