Hi guys!

Every game of chess, we tend to start with a favorite set of opening moves. What do you play as an opening? Even if you don't play an 'official' opening, share what you play! Also include some reasons why you enjoy your opening. If you want, you could even include a game showcasing your opening. 

Please participate! It will be interesting to see what everyone's opening style is like!

Recently, I have been experimenting with several openings, trying to pick a few to look into deeper. One that has stuck out to me is the Old Benoni defense (1. d4 c5). It catches a lot of d4 players off guard and has a few traps like the one below!

(yes I've shared this game before but its a great example of the Old Benoni)

I'm a fan of the Scotch. I like playing with central control.
