2. ... d5. I pretty much premove 2. ... d5 against every thing after 1. ... c6, but I dont ACTUALLY just in case that they play Qh5 or something. Hillbilly isnt really that good.

Also, respect for using the grunfeld. That thing is terrifying.

3. Sodium Attack

4. Amar opening

5. King's pawn opening: The Bongcloud

Panov botvinnnik is super underrated. Noice.

1. Italian Game
2. Reversed Hanham
3. Philidors defense
4. Old Indian defense
5. Sicilian Chamelion

@CaroKann Agreed, I have good results with the panov, I think it makes Caro players play the kind of game they don’t normally want to play. Nothing quiet in that line!

at this moment...
1) jobava london
2) paulsen french
3) semi-tarrasch
4) nimzowitsch sicilian 
5) four knights sicilian

Queen's gambit Declined

Queen's gambit accepted

Queen' s gambit tarrasch defense

Slav

Semi-Slav

(Definitely not biased towards an opening)

1. Portuguese Scandinavian (2… Nf6 3. d4 Bg4 for reference)
This is very aggressive for Black and even high rated players don’t know how to counter it and fall into subtle traps.
2. Scotch Gambit
This is an aggressive opening for white that has lots of traps for online play and solid positions for OTB games.
3. Dutch Defense
Easy setup-based opening famous against 1. d4 but I use this against 1. c4 and 1. Nf3 as well. Solid and aggressive as well.
4. Shirov-Anand French
My personal favorite way to crush the French, rare in tournament play but White maintains a slight advantage and has great endgames
5. Smith-Morra
Simple and easy game at the cost of a pawn with tons of attacking potential, would be higher but Black has some annoying ways to counter.

As you can see I am a very aggressive player.
