@poucin - I understand where you're coming from, sharper openings do require higher skill to master. However, I have never felt that avoiding the more difficult aspects of the game serves a player's interests in the long term. In my own case, that attitude cost me 15 years of progress.
It's important never to get too comfortable as a player, that's how you stop learning and improving.
yeah I am in chess only for about 2-3 years.
I play the Benko Gambit against 1.d4:
It's an interesting example of a positional gambit: White's d-pawn is vulnerable to attack after g6 and Bg7, and the open b and a files give black great counterplay on the queenside - even after several pieces are traded.
That is an open game
but I will try it out. thanks
