I hate playing against white in Sicilian Alapin
Interesting is that because you would prefer to play heavy theory in the nadorff?
What opening do you hate facing the most?

I find it funny how many people avoid the Sicilian because of all the Anti-Sicilian lines.
I play an anti-Sicilian myself as White, following the footsteps of Smyslov, Spassky, and Suttles, and have excellent results over the board with the Closed Sicilian, but that is because playing what you understand and clicks is often better than playing what is absolutely the theoretically best line. Does not mean other lines are unsound, they are just equal, like the Closed Sicilian, rather than a slight advantage for White. It also does not mean you should play garbage like 2.c4 or 2.h4.
That said, why did I quit playing the Sicilian as Black? The Open Sicilian! Being one that mostly played the Taimanov (occasionally Najdorgf), the 7.Qf3 lines became really annoying!
Now it is all French all the time for me against e4!

The London. White just shells up and launches an attack and I don't usually know how to play in those positions.

QID too. So solid it's annoying. Black's bishops are so active for being on the 7th rank, they are like the most annoying outposts that is literally impossible to kick them out of

never even seen or played the QID at my level
in fact, i rarely see the east indian defenses, i almost only see the KID
KID and Grunfeld are definitely the most popular, but I like the east indian defences. idk why, they just seem to work for me.
alapin, play it and i will come to ur house
