Tartakower Defense - universal line for Black
If you are looking for a very universal opening for Black, you should definitely check the Tartakower Defense, one of the lines in the Queen's Gambit. Originally that line happens after 1.d4 but the pattern is so universal that you can use it against anything except 1.e4. The last remark, this is not the line for someone who is looking for opening traps - but for players who want to follow opening principles and get a good position at the begining of the middlegame.
