Closed Openings

I like closed positions and very comfortable with them. Can you suggest an opening for white with closed positions and a lot of maneuvering ?

It looks contradictory, a lot of maneuvering requires an open position! grin.png

I dont think so . Can you prove me with an example?

I think he means jiggling his pieces around in closed lines. I'd suggest the Reti.

I use the Reti myself. It is a useful way to avoid prepared lines, and it involves subtle maneuvering of pieces. Since the Reti can transpose into many opening variations, it is very flexible. White can keep the center pawns in a compact position for a long time and use minor pieces to fight for the center, often leading to closed positions because there is no early center pawn exchange.

Reti or English... perhaps the London system or a d4/c4 rep with carefully chosen lines

The Stonewall formation is pretty much closed up

The stonewall isn't great tho, plus in the London you often get stonewall type positions with the bishop outside

Stonewall attack leaves too many holes

My Reti game online. Looks like it doesnt suit me.

Usually the so called "geriatric openings" like the London and Colle  involve a lot of manoeuvring in closed positions.

With the colle study the zukertort system, and then decide on the Rubinstein attack. Trust me it works.
