Openings you DESPISE!


If you hate it from the black side then you are not prepared for it. What do you usually play against it?

I hate all the wayward queen stuff but gotta admit defending it is pretty satisfying.

I have a losing record against the grob, but I did beat ONE and see that I played with 90% accuracy. I'm proud of that one.

O.K. fellow sneaky grobnik haters... here's some 1...e5 theory that gets an advantage in almost every line against the grob by about move #7 or sooner.
Destroy the Grob as black (theory with evaluations & stats)



it looks like black's best reply (OTB 1600-2000 by a couple percent) to the bowdler is to fianchetto

E4 > BC4 is so good like, the best ever opening totally OMG! You will always win ....

Please keep playing E4 > BC4 as white, I love farming easy wins.
Even when I move the wrong knight first I can still winz.
I learnded it from Gotham Chess, also theres fantasy variation which is super hard, but this video is the best:

i hate seeing the modern or pirc after playing e4 it honestly disgusts me
The Pirc is completely avoidable. Cannot say the same about the Modern.
When I played 1.e4 over the board in 2019, I actually practiced what I preached and avoided the Pirc. The Modern, if Black wants, he can play the Averbakh lines.
How do you avoid the Pirc? Easy! You wind up in either an Old Indian or King's Indian (Black's Choice), Saemisch Variation!
1.e4 d6 2.d4 Nf6 3.f3! and now:
A) 3...e5 4.d5 leads to a good version of the Old Indian for White
B) 3...g6 4.c4 Bg7 5.Nc3 is the Saemisch King's Indian
Yknow how eazy they are to beat (Except the english)?

I am both e4 and nf3 player, so
As nf3, i HATE the black mustang. That’s all
As e4, french is a pain in the aas, cuz i never prepare the wing gambit properly(ironic)
Alekhine and nimzowitsch, cuz i never know what to do against them.
As black, london system, exchange french, both Nc3 and Nd2 french(cuz i play the blackburne).
Exchange caro kann with Bd3 and h3, advanced en passant caro kann, alapin sicilian, declined lisbon gambit against the london
i'll have to look into the "black mustang", I'm guessing you're using a slightly different name than I remember for the 1...Nc6 for everything system. dark knight system... different way to say the same thing it seems
if you hate the london, try the hartlaub/charlick! punish londons for pre-moving 2.Bf4?? after you 1...e5!? (!) like I said, I love that open tactical anti-pawn pushing EASY TO LEARN system.
if alekhine vexes you, try the underrated krejcik!
You have to be wary of a retreat for your queen sometimes, but often you can chase black all over the board constantly developing attacks on him. if nothing else, you've stolen his castle rights and boxed his rook in. I have won 6 out of 10 games with it plus a draw. I'm 67% in 2.e5 games too, but krejcik is funner. i like it when i can actually trip an opponent up positionally as I'm position challenged
i REALLY used to despise the nimzo as a 1400 getting stomped by 1200s against it, but now destroy it. i have won EVERY one of these games:
chasing and hobbling the knights seems effective followed by basic development and/or defense as needed. i'm just going by intuition here. no study. pushing whatever pawn you can push after d4 gains you space. THERE... I just talked positional for ONCE in my life! where's my effing gold star and smiley face stickers? LOL
another good trick is 1.e4 Nc6 2.d4 e5 3.Nf3 exd4 4.Bc4 Bc5 5.Ng5 Nh6 6.Nxf7 Nxf7 7.Bxf7+ Kxf7 8. Qh5+ g6 9.Qxc5 robbing black of castling rights and opening attacking chances on the black king early in the game
