Your Repertoire

My goal is to become both a 1.d4 and a 1.e4 player. My opponent should never know what to prepare for, and I would ideally have at least one trap ready for each variation.

That's a pretty good idea, that's also why I got 3 defences against both d4 and e4. 

@ruben72d

If you're not afraid of learning much theory, I'd suggest simply 3. Nc3 against the French. Usually the games become rather sharp, which you seem to like.  

Also have a similar plan on improving my opening knowledge at some point more - so I can be more flexible - at the moment it is not that flexible for me - 
With white i go for Birds

With black Dragadorf, Grunfeld, that is about it. 

Yeah but there are plenty of non-theory heavy ways to play KID. Like the various lines with Na6

I can beat this kid easily!

1.b4 d6 2.Bb2 Nf6 3.Bxf6 g6 4.Bxh8 Bg7 5.Bxg7 and now O-O is an illegal move!  Took him out of his book!

i won't give you my reportarie. LOL.. Da da da.

Disappointing for someone so active on the forum 

honestly I play many things and why would I want to tell everyone about my repertorie??

I can say first moves.. :

1. e4

1. d4

1. c4

1. Nf3

1. b3

these ones I play, at rare times even 1. g3

as black versus 1. e4:

1.. e6

1.. d5

1.. c5

1.. g6

1.. e5

Good luck!

You're by no means forced, lol. Sorry if my formulation made you think you had to. I just responded to you because you always want people to be relevant is all  

Thanks for your kindness to give your first moves. 

This is an interesting forum. The only thing is, I dont think people will be too in depth about their repertoire because its like magic, you arent going to reveal all of your tricks.

Honestly, my focus is not on openings. Its on positional understanding, principles, and tactics. I like to play all kinds of openings (I wont memorize openings, but I get the jist of them and play from there)

I love KID, modern defense, and starting to experiment more with kings pawn, ruy lopez etc.

I am not entirely sure on what to play against the Chigorin. Anyone got a suggestion that fits my repertoire as given in the first post ?

^ Got ''fixed'', by the way.

I don't have a repertoire. At what stage should an opening repertoire be prepared in a player's development?

I'd personally say it's essential to have some sort of a repertoire when you're about 1800. That is when I started to study some openings and my results went up drastically. You should have a few openings you play and know the ideas/themes; you don't need to memorize that much yet. That is actually counterproductive. That is like a cliché but that is because it is so true.

Below my estimation of 1800 one seems to get away with following basic opening principles.

What is your level at? And do you have some insight in your strengths/weaknesses? Already know some openings you like? Do you like open/closed games, positional/aggressive?
