Ok, I'll play 1...e5.  1.d4 e5 2.c3 exd4 3.cxd4 d5.  Congrats!  You just entered the Queen's Gambit Declined Exchange Variation (1.d4 d5 2.c4 e6 3.cxd5 exd5 is the exact same position!)

Najdorf and semislav (merans) As white I play d4 and then c4 and I have certain preferences of what I like to play against but it's very specific

KIA all the way and maybe the Scandinavian defense, but the Ruy Lopez beats them all

For white, I would choose the kings pawn opening, which leads to two of my favourites (Vienna Game and Italian Game AKA Fried Liver Attack)

For black, I absolutely love the Dragon Sicilian and the Euglund Gambit.

For White: Center Game: Danish Gambit

For Black: Sicilian Defense: Old Sicilian Variation(or Englund Gambit)

White: Kings Indian Attack. I like this because I control the center from the flanks (I must be a reincarnation of Nimzowitsch) and pawn center remains flexible

Black: Caro Kann Defense. I like this because, like the Kings Indian Attack, the pawn structure is very solid and flexible and good for queenside cramping

White - Kings Indian Attack. It can give a very cramped position in the start but If you know how to play it you can get a great attacking position.

Black - Kings Indian defense. Same reason as above.

White: Ruy Lopez (1. e4, 2. Nf3, 3. Bb5)

Black: French Def. (1...e6 then I usually play 2...d5)

Avatar of paxrosales

White: Ruy Lopez,Italian and Queen's Gambit Black: Najdorf Sicilian, Kan Sicilian, Normal King's pawn opening and that's all

Avatar of DuskPikachu

White: I like the Grand Prix Attack because it has a very cool name and is very aggressive.

Black: Najdorf - I really like the Najdorf because it is aggressive and kinda easy to play.
