Which one of these openings do you recommend? I know that both are out of fashion but which is more sound? Also, which move order should I use for either.

IMO both are deeply sound, closely related, fighting defenses. It's hard to play either without some knowledge of the other. Why not try both in blitz games and see which fits you better?

I have played both. IMO, the Classical variation offers better winning chance. The Keres Attack against the Schevenigen is difficult to defend.

The original question has no real sense cuz most of Scheveningen variations are also subvariants of Classical + e6. peshka.png
