White=e4 hoping for an Italian or a Guico Piano

Black=d5 after e4 hoping for a scandinavian or Scicilian

I like playing e4 as white.

   I don't have a favourite opening as black.

Variety is the spice of life.  I play a variety of openings depending on mood.

my favourite opening would have to be black because then you can see the other persons move and counter it easily and it is a way of chalenging yourself

E4 since it is the only one I am comfortable with.

Black - depends on what white plays.

I feel more comfortable playing as black in general.

Most of the time:

White: 1.c4

Black:  1.e4 c5 (preferring 2...e6 systems);  1.d4/1.c4/1.Nf3 with 1...Nf6 aiming for a QGD

But in 20 years+ I don't think there is an ECO code I haven't fiddled with or faced at least once.

 Maybe I am getting old? I have had some fun playing the Hippo as black.
