The Larson's opening. Do you know any good ones for an aggressive player?

Grob,Stone Wall, English opening

Avatar of Monkey-michael

I know those. The grob leaves my king vulnerable but very strong. 

I don't really get the point of stonewall.

The english opening I use when I play around with my opponent (only if he/she is weak)

thx though

Grob is for new players.

Stone wall is ment for defense

English opening helps development

My white opening is the standard opening.  I move my two middle pawns up, first the kingside pawn, then the queenside pawn.  Next, I move my white squared bishop out to where it could pin the king at its original position or, if the pawn is moved up, check the king.  The I would move my queen to a position to pin or check the king.  I move my other bishop out so it's pinning the queen or threatening to capture the queen.  After that, I take my kingside knight out and do a kingside castle.  I move my pawn to the far right up one space.  The thing I do after that is move my other knight out.  I then move both my rooks to the middle. 

 

The opening should end up like the diagram below.

i think its hard to go wrong with nf3, g2, d3, bg2, 0-0 setup you can almost play those moves blindfolded unless black does something odd you should be on autopilot for the first 10 moves or so once you get the feel for this opening.
