Anything good for black?

I like to play agressive openings in chess regardless of wether I am white or black. For example when I play as white I use things like the scotch, the ruy lopez, and fried liver attack. And when I play as black I always play either the scandinavian defense or sicilians. Although I would like some more variety in my defenses as black, because everything else is too passive for me. Does anyone have any suggestions?

All of those White openings you stated are vs 1...e5 and both Black openings are vs 1.e4... Do you play against the same opponents over and over again by any chance? Oh and FYI, the Scandinavian is about as passive as it gets... Also, 4.Ng5 in the two Knights defence is about as defensive as it gets... Grab a pawn then defend defend defend all game. I don't think you have any idea how "aggressive" the openings you currently play are.

No I don't play against the same opponents over and over again, it's just that when I play as white, most people mirror when i play e4. And I named black opening that go agaisnt e4 because that is what I see most often. And what are your recmmendations for openings as black then?

So you're just not going to comment on the rest of what I said? I recommend that you just follow opening principles because you're not strong enough to justify any opening prep.

You still make a lot of elementary tactical mistakes, so the opening is not something that should worry you yet.

Maybe if I pray hard enough, the OP will actually start playing this "Colorado Gambit". It is extremely powerful!

Here is Extremley Powerful Opening. Called to Colorado Gambit. here is a game that has been Played between Me and My Friend xD. im having the black pieces. well he resigned because he knew he couldn't handle the pressure. soon will be checkmate. at move 19. instead of capturing the queen i wanted to torture him and i went for the checkmate. not for the queen.

 

Patzer sees check, patzer plays check: Qh5+ is not good. Play 7.Bg5 and black's position slowly crumbles to dust.

Furthermore white can improve and play 4 Bb5 instead of 4 d4 to take the sting completely out of the opening.

Thank you for all your help!

Thank you for helping me!

NOOO! Please don't play the Colorado, a completely unsound opening that will not get you anywhere. You will be playing for tricks and traps rather than to try and outplay your opponent!

Good luck with your chess in future and also ruden72d those moves were played in future that you menton. so STFU.

It seems you are the reincarnation of atchintya-vatsraj. Since this topic has been heavily discussed already in the other thread I will not try again to talk sense in you.

Good luck with the Lemonado gambit. You will need it. It's main issue is that White does not need to know much to crush you since Black's position is a self-deteriorating full of holes mess.

If one really wants to play the Nimzowitsch defense why not play it properly like a reversed Van Geet?

Openings are not your problem.  Learning how to play the midlegame, and simple tactics are what you need to work on.

He's got to be trolling, right?

The Fischer's System bust only applies to the Dragon, the Najdorf (which is too complex for your level anyway you have to learn open and closed centers before dealing with more flexible dynamic centers especially if you don't have the sense yet to restrain a freeing ...d5 advance or attempt one prematurely) and many Ruy Lopez systems are great.  Just play 1...e5 as white and 1...Nf6 as black and go for a Nimzo or Queen's Indian.  The Slav is good too but the problem with it is white has the power to play 3.cxd5 creating a symmetrical pawn formation where both sides will fight for the c-file in a very drawish position.  The Bogo-Indian is worth a try too.  

I'd recommend at first as white going for the Four Knights and as black against 1.e4 go for the Petroff.  Instead of needing to learn Evans Gambit, Giuoco Piano, Ruy Lopez, Scotch, and all sorts of other theory you can simplify your study down to just the Four Knights and Petroff.  If white plays 2.Nc3 then you play 2...Nc6 when play will continue as follows:

LOL! This guy is brilliant! No, don't play those passive Sicilians... Play the aggressive CK!!! The Najdorf isn't complex enough for him anyway! And of course as White he only plays the QG regardless of how Black responds!

I've changed my mind, I honestly don't think he's trolling. Perhaps that's rather controversial but I believe and truely hope it's true.

Hes a beginner.  He is spouting what all beginners spout.  "I'm an agressive player"  

TheGreatOogieBoogie

Because to have a good grasp of the Najdorf you need to have a good understanding of tactics and positional elements such as weak squares and color complexes and especially imbalances such as the eternal knight, dynamic center, and d5, f5, and b6 weaknesses as well as countering a flank attack with a central thrust, when to neutralize their play or continue on your side, etc.  There are book lines where white sacrifices a piece to open up the king or keep him centralized.  You'll also need a strong grasp of dynamics and compensation, such as with the Poisoned Pawn Variation where white builds up a strong initiative. 

Did you catch all that?  Those are just a couple of main lines, you really have to know what you're doing and not just memorize lines but understand their context and reasons.

Lets have some fun!

"I like to play agressive openings in chess regardless of wether I am white or black."

Of course you do, youre a beginner.  All beginners think they are tactical/agressive players.

"And when I play as black I always play either the scandinavian defense..."

It doesnt get much more Unagressive that this.  

"Does anyone have any suggestions?"

Yes...Learn what an agressive opening is.  Learn the opening principles, stucy tactics, and basic endgames.  Trying to convince yourself that you are an "agressive" player is wrong.
