Attacking Chess Opening for black against 1. e4

Hey everyone. I've been struggling to find an opening for black against 1.e4 in which there are solid attacking chances. I've been playing the caro kann which I know is quite solid, but I am looking for a more aggressive line. I've considered the sicilian, but I do not know which variation to play. I've also considered the pirc since I enjoy playing the King's Indian Defense against 1. d4, also since it is slightly unorthodox and many people do not know how play against it. So basically, I am looking for a attacking line against 1. e4 which is unique and not very commonly studied so my opponents get confused in the opening. Any suggestions would be help greatly. Thanks. 

I'd suggest to try petrov defence

Sorry I forgot to add that I don't really want to play e5 against e4.

I would consider the Najdorf Sicilian an aggressive approach to e4. you will need to know the closed Sicilian, the Alipan, and the Smith morra gambit. to fit the unique and not very commonly studied part, i would suggest the Scandinavian defense.

What’s with 2000+ rapid rated players switching away from the CK lately?

You’re 2000. You’re at the top level compared to most who play chess. You definitely have the capability to learn the Najdorf Sicilian. I could also note the French, but that’s pretty much it.

A game I played over the board Tuesday night, many players of low rating son's understand that the French is actually a very aggressive Defense. In fact, there are many similarities between the French and Sicilian (especially the Taimanov).

If you aren't up on your Sicilian theory, the French could be your answer.

Hi! I would suggest you play the Modern Defense that has a lot in common with the King`s Indian Defense. Check out my post: https://www.chess.com/blog/maafernan/opening-repertoire-the-modern-defense

Good luck!

Why not

Alekhines Defense

Sicillian: Too much theory

e5: Too much theory and too many gambits from white

Scandi: Not very aggressive.

Caro-kann: Too many gambits vs it.

French: Is ok, but not as aggressive as Alekhines Defense

How is the alekhine aggressive

better explanation

Sicilian: Great, but very theory-heavy and very difficult to understand.

e5: Also very theory-heavy, and rarely confrontational.

Scandi: dubious

Caro-Kann: boring + gothamchess/karpov stan skill issue

French: Is a little positional but overall is one of the best defenses you can play against 1. e4. Very aggressive in most lines, you have a clear target, and if white decides to not confront you with Nc3 or e5, you have achieved equalization.

apparently there are really tactical and dynamic lines.

i completely agree with artist

oh yeah true

Could the pirc work since it is similar to the kings indian?

Not really. The Pirc walks into many aggressive lines, caused by the fact white hasn't moved their c-pawn. More a defensive opening. Alekhines is better.

I would reccomend the reverse halloween gambit
