Which opening is your best? For me, it's probably the Icelandic Gambit.Smile

Scarecrow variation of the Oz Gambit.

But seriously, don't pay attention to that man behind the curtain.

I suck at all of them, but my best would probably be the Najdorf as black or the Ruy as white.

OTB it seems to be the Benko. I've won every game I've played in it except once I made a draw against a guy rated 500 points higher than myself.

I enjoy the Queens Gambit as White, and I have my most luck with the Najdorf as black. Really, I know neither of these openings very deeply.

I get a lot of luck with the gambit. My opponents usually play Queens gambit Accepted, and then I play 3.e4. I believe this may actually be the improper way to handle the opening (recall seeing white put the pawn on e3 in some official looking thingy). Of course, it doesn't really matter, because the opponent usually doesn't understand the opening, and I get to have fun with the aggressiveness in the center. Anyone more knowledgeable than myself have thoughts on the Queens Gambit accepted?

I enjoy the Bird against weak opponents. I've never beaten the Nimzo-Indian as white, but I truely enjoy playing against it. I think it is the learning factor.

Dragon, Najdorf.

For White, I enjoy the King's Indian Attack. As Black, I enjoy a Grunfeld or a French defense.

I'll second this. mainly in 5 minutes games. Firstly because the great majority expects a King pawn game. Secondly, the vast majority accepts the gambit....

Black- Icelandic Gambit

I enjoy the Hypermodern openings, so I tend to do well with the Reti as white.  I play Alekhine's Defense as black, and sometimes even screw with the Benoni.
