The Zukertort gives Black the ability to steer the game in the direction he wants. 

1... Nf6 leads to the King's Indian or Queen's Indian Defense, 1... d5 leads to the Slav Defense or Queen's Gambit Declined, and 1... c5 leads to a Sicilian or the Symmetrical English.

My only opening as white,for many years now.  I play,as much as i can, King's Indian Attack. As black,i play King's Indian Defense and Pirc leading to similar positions.

The reason why I like this opening with N-f3,is to prevent P-K4,I'm tired of Kings Pawn openings.

What about it?

TVremoteMicrowave - If black plays 1...c5, white doesn't have to accept his "sicilian invitation". White can and usually does play 2.c4, transposing into English opening, symmetrical variation.

 

 

I see Zukertort as this:

1. White plays a waiting move.

1... Black plays a reply to the certain opening that white hasn't even played yet.

2. White can transpose into the opening that makes black's "reply" typical (he excepts black's invitation) or he can choose a move that transposes into a rare variation of a completely different opening.

I prefer 1.d4. The only time I'd use this is to pull a Tennison Gambit.

I think that this move is thought better as a way to let black chose the opening . most openings end up with this night in this position so what ever blacks reply is , then you can form this into several openings.
