E4 players - what opening system/sequence makes you cringe?
Sort:
Somebody made one for d4 players so this had to be done. Mine would be a booked up Caro-Kann since i have trouble playing my pet line against it which is the two knights attack.
Mine would be the Wazinsky attack. I have no idea how to defend against it!
Something about the Scandinavian defence always makes me cringe. I have a good record against it, but I just find it so ugly ...
Also not a fan of playing against the stonewall.
In general though there's no reply to 1.e4 that I'm *really* uncomfortable with.

Stonewall? I thought that was just against 1.d4?
owen's defence type set up, with the player just making his own theory up

Owen defense it's cringy 
I prefer to play against de modern as black usually castles kingside and it gives good attacking chances for white if you castle queenside
I loathe the kind of Petrov's Defense that seems to be aiming for an Exchange French transposition (and I loathe the Exchange French equally when I'm Black). I just don't care for the pawn structure, and in last year's State Women's Championship a little girl rated 800 drew me with it. Ouch. (Admittedly that little girl is now rated 1400. But still.)
Petrov Defense.
