What opening do YOU play? Im curious what the majority of people choose regarding this topic.

1.e4 mostly. Currently 1..e5 as back to get better, I used to do 1..c5 and sometimes 1..d5 all against 1.e4. As black I do 1..d5 1..e6 1..f5 against 1.d4 mostly I wait to see if I am playing a system player. If I see the London or Colle I pair up the c and d pawns then do a queen side attack. Sometimes I end up in a French from 1.d4 and that suits me fine as black, due to having spent years in Sicilian positions. So more variety from this month than previous years. I sometimes play 1.d4 as I want to learn QP positions. Not as much right now as I am trying to improve my rating after an all night blitz tilt the other week.

Classical Sicilian, Slav, Wormsnake (1. d4 > 2. Nd2)

This topic is a constant on this forum;same topic packaged differently.

I like playing the King's Gambit or Queen's Gambit as white. As black it depends on what my opponent does.

Italian and Sicilian

I mean, yeah, this category of forums is about openings, so it makes sense to ask, right?

And its just for my context, so that I can improve my play by analyzing what others play.

The thread ,though,isn't really about openings as much as its about what people play; like what opening is played the most, what do players prefer,or some such variation. There are a large number of similar threads which are little more than a poll on what people play.The thread is not unlike asking people what color shirt they prefer.

Trompowsky/Levitsky as White

Petroff/Deferred Dutch (1...e6, allowing the French over the Gambits or 2.Bg5) as Black

hi i am from vietnam

kings pawn, best opening no doubt.

As white I used to play the Ponziani, but recently I switched back to the Italian game. In many games I win an early pawn like so:

As black against e4 I always do the Caro-Kann due to its (usually) consistent patterns. Against d4, I meet with d5 and...honestly I'm not too "trained" against 1.d4, so I don't really have a repertoire against it yet; I might learn the Modern Defense for that one.

Kings pawn

King's Indian Attack as White.

Sicilian Najdorf or King's Indian Defense as Black.

Four Knights Scotch as White

Sicilian Dragondorf and Benko Gambit as Black

I like the Scandinavian defense :bp :bp :bp :bp :bp :bp :bp :bq :bk :bn :bn :bb :bb :br :br
