Chess.com, I would like to know what your favorite openings are. I like the queen's gamebit (accepted/declined), King Pawn's Game, and the Danish Gambit (c21). I prefer open and closed games.

At the moment I like English for White, Slav and Kalashnikov for Black, Caro was good for a while but have gone back to shoving it two squares again, Sicilian is fun & exciting as Estragon said and above all active.
