Good weapon against the Petrov?

Hello everyone I was wondering if any of you had any suggestions for something fun to play against the Petrov defense. Whenever I play against it the games are pretty dry.

Is it very dubious?

not even sure, the petrov is just super solid and hard to even refute as white

Why would someone play it!? It's soooooo boring

I hate it soooo much. At least something like the caro is solid but, both sides have something to play for

I don't want something dubious, just something where both sides can play for a W

i mean the petrov is basically the caro but when you are playing e5 instead, annoying opening for white to win against

In the caro you can play the advance at least and it's not super boring

both sides can play for a win, its just that you have to be very sharp in the petrov or you lose

I'll look into that line then

That's why I play the Tal lol

If you want to get crazy, you can play Nc3, and if they play Nc6 you can go for the Halloween gambit with Nxe4.

If you want a more solid position that isn't boring, I would suggest d4

Do you mean 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 d6 4.Nf3 Nxe4 5.d4?

I just play a 4 knights, because I had to study it as black anyway, so why not.

If black wants it to be boring, then the Petoff is boring.

Not a bad idea as it's not as boring as the petrov
