I like the English Opening as Black, it is a solid guard, and can open white up to counter-attacks

Haha, against f4 I play d5. 

I'm actually learning the Bird at the moment.

King's Indian or Sicillian, Najdorf Variation. Might try some new stuff out.

Have you heard of the Hobbs gambit, Sprite?

1. f4 g5

Which will give you some fun games, though it probably isn't technically the best response. Usually continued as 2. fxg5 then usually either 2. ... e5 or 2. ... d5

I play Sicilian(najdorf) and QGD whenever possible
Avatar of KingLeopold

Against 1.e4 my main weapon is the Nimzowitsch defense 1...Nc6 and on occasion the Sicilian Kan.

Against 1.d4 I employ the Chigorin Defense 1...d5  2.c4 Nc6 and on occasion the Dutch Defense

I usually play e5 and sometime Sicilian ( najdorf ) . But i am still finding Sicilian too tricky . If I reply I usually end up with  Ruy Lopez or Italian game.

I'm a fan of the Sicilian Dragon variation against e4, and the Tarrasch against d4.

as black I like the caro-kann.

its solid and doesn't involve too much theory.

I suggest you would watch gothemchess's video on YouTube and learn more about it.

I learned the French as well but I don't really like it, its very passive and makes the game very frustrating to me, but play it if you want.

Scandinavian is super super simple it takes like 3 min to learn (or less).

hope this helped someone

Avatar of darkunorthodox88

why not try out the nimzowitsch defense?

Avatar of Meowing_power

Am studying the Sicilian opening in Chessable, it has great moves of what Magnus Carlsen played, it mostly improving your position but has a lot of lines so im going to learn it against e4

Avatar of MEGAPIG2000

Against d4 should id learn the dutch defense? Or is that a bad or mid opening. Also against the french shpould I learn the tarrasch or is there any other opening
