I don't know many openings, for white Yugoslav attack and for black Sicilian defense. But I only know the first 4/5 moves.

I apply the Kings indian defense to either colour, depends on my confidence levels.  I suppose KID is my favourite!

The Sicilian. No line in particular - part of what I like about it is its flexibility and opportunities to tranpose into different variations. Mostly I like it, though, because it can be very sharp and seems to be black's best method to play for the win right from move 1.

I like the Dunst opening but King's Pawn works fine for me :-)

When people play e4 I cry because I cant play the king's indian; when people play d4 I cry because I cant play the Sicilian.  I am never happy.

Two Knights Defense!!! The Ng5 line, if I don't get my daily prize of the Fried Liver Attack, I fork him and chop him with a knife!

Are you a fan of the Bongcloud: Raspberry Danish Counterattack?

Avatar of Conquistador

Oh so you come from the school of the Classical Bong.  I respect that as well, although I have been warming to the Hypermodern Bong as well.  The work of Alexander Alekhjanezy was quite influencial in forming that school of thought.
