What were Tigran's primary responses to 1.e4, 1.d4, and 1.c4? Thanks in advance! :)

On a side-note, I love this site! It's a great community, and I've enjoyed it all so far.

Petrosian played french, sicilian and caro kanns against 1 e4 .

In the early 1960s,when Petrosian played the Sicilian, he liked the Sozin Attack.  Here is one of his games where he defeated the late Istvan Bilek in a miniature.  He then switched to playing the French.  The next game shows him defeating Tal.

Wow, a very nice mini from Petrosian and with black !!  Certainly out of character/style for him isnt it ?
