How will you chose your opening repertoire based on some random stranger's repertoire?
What's your openning repetoire?
Sort:
I'm almost tempted to write "the Hippo for both colours" just because of ^.
Oh wait, that is my repertoire. :-P

Btw,I play 1.e6(French defense) against 1.e4.
1.f5(Dutch defense) against 1.d4,1.c4,1.Nf3.

Ya want me too?
I play the Sicilian against e4. My favorite line is the Dragon, though I'm happy to transpose to a sort of Schevy-Najdorfy pawn structure now and again or if the situation calls for it.
Against d4 I play the KID or Benoni. Against c4 I play as much of a KID setup as I can. Against Nf3 I play c5 and pray for a transposition to the Sicilian, or I'm quite happy to turn into a Benoni if they go d4.
As White I play e4. Scotch Gambit is my favorite against the e5 Nc6 thing. Reti Gambit against the French is the only other notable oddity.
I play differently in blitz vs. correspondence or long live games.
In particular, in a longer format, I usually wont play the Sicilian in response to 1. e4. Too much theory that I don't know very well for me to be able to gain some sort of upper hand as black. At the moment, my preferred response to 1. e4 is 1...Nf6, Alekhine's defense. In blitz formats, especially against weaker or equal rated opponents, I play 1... c5 a lot more often, because it's easier to create a tactical situation that I can make blow up on my opponents, more often than not. I wont touch 1...e5 in any circumstance.
Against 1. d4 as black, I'll usually play a Slav or a KID. I also used to like to play the Dutch Stonewall defense, and I might start trying that out in response to d4 as well. When playing blitz, I usually prefer an Indian defense to a QGD.
As white, I play 1. d4 about 70% of the time, and I'll gladly play any defense you want to throw at me!
1.Nf3 with Reti, symmetrical english, exchange slav, exchange kid, exchange qgd and 3.b4 in the advance.
Against 1.c4 1..c5 symmetrical
Against 1.e4 1..e5 Ideally reaching a Berlin Spanish
Against 1.d4 1..d5 with the QGA against the queens gambit.
