vienna, caro kann
Sort:
I am an intermediate player and i got to 1200 on my main account with my ”own” opening, now i want to learn new openings to further climb the rating ladder. I now know the basics of caro kann and vienna after some gothamchess videos,but what if my opponent don’t play e4 or e5 what openings are recommended for my level?

Your priorities should be:
as white-
1) figure out some lines against the sicilian. You should probably start with some anti-sicilians. I like the Westerenin attack / Portsmouth gambit / Princ variation. The alapin is an easier way to start, the Rossolimo / Moscow are also good.
2) figure out a line against the french. The Tarrasch is a good place to start
as black-
3) figure out a line against 1. d4 2. c4. Slav is a good suggestion, especially since you're playing the caro-kann. QGA is also a good one. Tarrasch / Semi tarrasch are also good.
