i just play marcozy bind(for white) really annoying for black so if u want, i would say tamainvo or najbord and after f3, play for e5 and d5. u have to learn the lines after bg5 tho, but usually d4, and then c3 and nc6

me and my sister are both above 1700 uscf, and tamianov works better. As long as you know the theory and have decent defense, you’ll get a decent position

and Marcozy bind cuz if the opponent doesn’t know what he’s doing, ur winning.

Yeah but Sicillian is a pain to learn!

e5 if u don’t know all the theory or french

Im 1800 uscf and to be honest, I think just playing e5 is the best cuz u know what ur opponents gonna play most of the time so its easy to prepare. Like in the scilian, u have like a whole bunch of lines and than more lines in those lines
