Ive seen a 1600 draw against Susan Polgar in a Simul myself
What defense to d4 players hate?
Sort:
Most annoying of all is the Dutch defence. I have lost games with white against lower rated patzers who just push the pawns on the kingside without any calculations. Then they got lucky.
i find the dutch most annoying too..
i mean not because my opponents cant play, but because i cant play
I've played this in several rated games. I know the first thing that everyone hears when learning the Queen's Gambit is that it's bad to take the pawn, but people who play it hardly ever see this. I know it is bad, but it is not at all what d4 players want.

I'm not sure if you're talking about the QGA or not since i can't see the diagram but if yes, it isn't bad...it's just a different way of reacting.
i think queens gambit accepted is pretty cool i dont get why its not played more...
Nimzo-Indian Defense
For the Queen's Gambit I would say the Albine. It completely takes a Queens Gambit player out of his element.
the modern, its the only opening i hate.
This is because of transpositional issues, i dont want to play a KID or Benoni, because I usually play 2.bg5 against nf6. I dont want to use a london or torre, since if they delay the knight coming to f6 i dont get a very comfortable position. So my best best is to go into a 150 attack, which the player likely plays against often (many players use 1..g6 against d4 and e4), so they have the homefield advantage.

I think that happens quite frequent. a player in the club I used to play was also 1300 beating a danish GM in simul. though the 1300 is actually better than his rating gives him credit

sometimes he is rated above 1600 and sometimes rated 1300.
i found the kings indian defense to be really annoying against d4 until i discovered the bayonet attack.
also, the benko gambit is really annoying unless you know the right ideas
