respones welcomed

excellent, have to check on using the knights game was well

My top ten openings?

As White:
1)Scotch Game
2) Colle
3) Colle-Zukertort
4) Reti (transposes into a KIA/ g3+Bg2)

As Black

1) Scandinavian
2) QGD
3)____________ (not quite sure yet)

I prefer less popular openings where the theory doesn't go 20-30 moves deep (like in some lines of the Ruy Lopez) but perhaps only 8-14 moves deep. I enjoy playing chess more than I like memorizing opening lines (or relevant master games).

Seriously, though... at your level mastering opening principles is more likely to improve your rating than studying openings lines. Good luck!

i agree, i like to know different variations, however utilizing middlegame tactics and knowing how to manipulate pieces and your opponent is what i strive to achieve

1. Caro Kann Spassky variation

2. Reti / Kings Indian Attack

3. Sicilian Najdorf Main Line

4. Sicilian Accelerated Dragon

5. Queens Gambit declined

6. Catalan

7. Kings Indian Defence

8.Nimzo Indian Defence.

9. Ruy Lopez

10.  (not sure)

For me it's the Bird , KG , GPA and Reti Gambit from time to time.

As Black mostly (semi)Slav , Dutch Leningrad , Scandinavian with 3....Qd6 

1: Spanish

2: Sicilian Dragon

3: Sicilian Kan

4: Benko

5: French

6: Grunfeld

7: Alekhine

8: Caro-Kann

9: Bishops Gambit

10: Catalan (when I used to play d4)

I don't have 10 (would that I could know 10 openings without muddling things up!!) but I still have a LOT of work to do on my opening...whenever I'm able to get out of the opening unscathed I'm a worthy opponent...otherwise I'm easily brutalized in the opening.  My favorite openings, however, are:

White:

1.Ruy Lopez

2.Piano

3. and against the Sicilian, my most favorite positions (and actually the opening I like playing most in general [though it doesn't always come up]) come from the Morra's Gambit  I'm usually not an attacking player, but the development allowed in this gambit encourages anyone to attack!

Black:

1. Sicilian

2. Two Knights Defense

3. and a Slav-lookin' setup

I'm learning a couple of new ones, though, that I hope will benefit my game.  Likesforests, what are those less-popular openings that you like?
