ohohoho. Its very difficult for black to get agressive without sacrificing some material. Id recommend
- Marshall gambit
- Frankenstein-Dracula gambit
- Sicilian defense (closed sicilian doesnt give the ¨agressive feel¨ to it)
- French defence (The tarrash and exchange do not give the ¨agressive feel¨ to it)
- English defense agianst c4
- Kings indian defense agianst d4
- tarrash defense agianst d4
- queens gambit accepted agianst d4
- alekhines defense agianst e4
most of these are somewhat dubious on the top level, but all can be played even up to master level.
Hey there, was just wondering if you guys had any suggestions for some aggressive openings I could use against 1.e4.
For my entire chess journey, I've played the french against e4. Although I've been quite successful with it, I would like to switch it up and play something more aggressive. Something like an open sicilian, where both sides just attack each others kings.
I used to only play the Queens gambit which I knew really well. Although recently, I've started playing the nimzo-larsen attack, and have had much, much more success playing it. Even though I hardly know any theory, I've racked up a 70% win rate with it. I've had beautiful attacking games such as the one in the diagram below, and would like to be able to play something similar as black.
I've thought about learning the Owens defense/English defense, or maybe even the dragon sicilian, but I'm not too sure.
Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.
