Sorry. Not enough chest hair.

indeed. I play the Caro•Kann but even I wouldn't say it's THE Solid defense against 1. e4. Certainly it staunches any opening fireworks if white tries to over run you from the start but there are residual concessions that linger going into the middlegame. On the other hand, if you're experienced you know the feeling of breaking alot of the hearts of over aggressive opponents.

The Najdorf is for knuckle-dragging, hairy-backed MEN!

Knuckle-dragging, hairy-backed women can play it, too.

The Alekhines defence used to be my main weapon vs. e4, but nowadays I am playing the Portugese and Icelandic gambits more often.

Can you give me a line in the alekhine please

c5. Is the only response I play because I enjoy the imbalance and counter play.

Nothing wrong with the Caro-Kann; it’s very solid and you play it well against the English.

The Caro-Kann Tal Variation can be a nightmare for Black
