Eric's Solutions to Hated Openings:
Petroff: Play the 5.Nc3 line. Lot's of attacking opportunities and no symmetrical structures. Shirov and Morozevich play this all the time...look up some of their games.
French: Man up and play 3.Nc3. The winawer is tons of fun, and the classical rules after a quick e5, queenside castling, and a kingside pawnstorm. Very sicilian-like in its ideas.
Annoying d-pawn openings: Go buy a book, learn the theory, and kick the crap out of them. The trick with these openings as black is to play like you're white! If white isn't going to fight for the initiative then black should take it!
as white the sicilian kan, as black the kings gambit
