I like the Italian game/Evan's Gambit as white and the Sicilian as Black. When somebody plays the sicilian against me, I play the Morra Gambit.
What is your favorite openings and defences?
Sort:
as engineer i tell u something , we like to unify things , ie make it more universal and reversable too.....think about that
in white play the kings indian attack...or reti...or the english opening , thethree of them r v similar and u can switch from one to another
now against d4 play kings indian defence...compatible to pawn structure of the KIA...u may sometimes switch to modern benoni when ur opponent plays early Bg5...again a sister opening
against e4 play the pirc ...sister of the KID ...or modern...or hyper accelerated dragon
look about the PAWN STRUCTURE of all the above ...they have the same spirit
an engineer opinion
white: queens gambit, blcks: sicilian...so far

Opening: Trompowsky Attack.
Defence: The Squirrel.
could you show some examples of your favorite oppening and favorite defense?
As white I always open 1. d4 - I know the line better, and I find that it tends to be more flexible and less theory-packed (Sicilian) than 1. e4. As black, against d4 I play Queen's Indian or Nimzo-Indian, and against e4 I usually play Sicilian.
White: the Ponziani
Black for kings pawn, the french
queens pawn, Slav (Will go into the Noteboom if given the opportunity)
English, symmetrical
and that's basically it

what is the noteboom
Danish Gambit, Scotch opening, Ruy Lopez, Guioco Piano as white, Slav defence or Sicilian as black.
pvmike> what is the noteboom
pvmike, that means he plays the triangle system eg 1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 c6 and if White plays 4.Nf3 he plays 4...dxc4 (the Noteboom) with the intent of holding onto the pawn. White doesn't have to cooperate... 4.e3, 4.e4, 4.cxd5, etc.
french / dutch defense, never realy had a favorite for the white side of the board
1 d4. Queen's gambit or Trompowsky.
French defense as black against white.

could you show us an example?...thank you
I like Caro-Kann against 1. e4. I'm especially used to playing against the advance variation. Also, the closely related French Defense also appeals to me. Sicilian Najdorf is also nice.
Against 1. d4 I play the Dutch Defense, Leningrad Variation, or the Cambridge-Springs defense.

The Noteboom:
heracrossx, a small note: 3...dxc4 isn't the Noteboom, although your game did transpose into a Noteboom after 6.Nc3?!. Here's a Noteboom from beginning to end:
