The nimzo larsen attack is a shocker.

The pig gambit frfr

There is no trick. This is just a good solid alternative to the english opening if you want something very developping and steady and fianchetto and etc.

Colle system converted to QGD. It hasn't been refuted by the top engines and you can make several natural moves quickly giving you a huge time advantage.

Torre attack

tromp

i must admit with the trompowsky you must know how to play the following

  1. benoni
  2. benko
  3. nimzo
  4. kid
  5. Nd4
  6. standard development

if not i guess you could just build your experience

U are completely wrong..... trompowsky is played to avoid such things....even u can avoid the Benoni structures as well! U don't need to know KID,nimzo or benko

you need to know structural weaknesses and plans in each of these
