It's simple, if you have a repertoir of opening that aren't very popuar at GM level state them:

Which are the popular openings at higher level?

  • Sicilian
  • Ruy Lopez
  • Queen's Gambit
  • QID, NID, KID, Grunfeld

I play the french instead of Sicilian

I play the Italian (with Evans Gambit or knight attack to follow, very uncommon at GM level yet crushing!)

I play QG sometime but rarely

I do play KID I must admit

I play Stafford to troll sometimes

Avatar of chamo2074

Yes I also play it sometimes it's so OP!

Avatar of chamo2074

Just watch IM Rosen to play Stafford.

Btw I have a lot of hidden gems which I'd like to keep personal right now, maybe writing them in a new blog article?
