Your Repertoire

With White:

1.e4

against Caro-Kann: Rubinstein variation

against French: 3.Nc3

against 1...e5:

2.Nf3, looking for a Ruy Lopez and variants

against Pirc: Austrian Attack

With Black:

against 1.e4

Caro-kann, Capablanca variation and others

1..e5, with a Berlin defense against the Ruy Lopez

against 1.d4:

1...d5 

Things I can and will play (as white):

Scotch, some lines of ruy lopez

French

Caro-Kann

Many Sicilians (though I need to focus a bit more on move orders and where attacks differ per sicillian)

Mostly all e4 stuff.  I don't really like d4 games.

-------------------------

As black, still struggling.  I think I'll play Caro-Kann against e4 and against d4 I've been dying to play the benko or a Grunfeld, but haven't really yet.

I can play a half-hearted Nimzo, or QID and would probably botch a KID. 

Might be able to play a decent Queen's gambit, but that's putting it out on a limb.  I feel like a lot of opening study hasn't really done me all that much good to be perfectly honest.

Thats as good as it gets

I don't really have a repertoire per say, but I mainly use the Ruy Lopez and since I usually encounter the Philidor Defense, I use the countergambit against it. However, I mainly face people who use "unsound" openings, so I just follow opening principles (doesn't always work out for me, though).

WOOOOO HOOOOO for me I finally finished my London System article.

Felt like forever. I just felt like saying that on this forum which is totally random. However, The title does say your repertoire.

So HA HA London System is part of my repertoire.

I've already posted here but my repertoire has changed quite a bit so I guess I'll update it just for fun.

White

-------

Anti-Nimzo Indian

Kasparov QID

Main Line Bogo-Indian

Main Line KID

Burille Gruenfeld (I'm gonna change this eventually)

QGA Old Variation

Modern QGD

Quiet Slav

Stoltz Semi-Slav

---------------------------------------

Steinitz Counter-Gambit

Modern Steinitz Defense

Fischer Defense

Two Knights Defense

Symmetrical English

" Dear Lord, please help me win this game & I'll do my best, amen."

I've found this to work as either black or white & every technical move after that could be suspect.

White

.....................

When I'm in a strategic mood, 1.c4 (English Opening). Probably acounts for 70% of games. Repetoire is taken from the excellent Marin trilogy on the English Opening, though I've come up with a few novelties to spice things up.

When I"m in a tactical mood, 1.e4.

Against 1...e6 --> 2.b3!!

Against 1...c6 --> Caro-Kann Advance Variation

Against 1...e5 --> King's Gambit

Against 1...c5 --> Smith-Morra Gambit

Against 1...d6 --> English Attack Setup

Against 1...Nf6 - Modern variation

Black

...........

Against 1.e4, Sicilian Dragon

Against 1.d4, Dutch Stonewall

hsong1, there is no club, it is a way to say ''you're like me/us''

I'd rather just sit down and play a game of chess with minimal preparation.  However, even beginners come to the board well prepared, so the need for deep theoretical study is obvious.  Sometimes when I'm playing practice games against novices I'm totally blown away by them ignoring traditional weak points in the Sicilian and playing as if a ...Nxg4 sacrifice or even ...d5 thrust isn't a threat when the threat of it should influence their decisions!  

OK why not.

White:

Queen's Gambit. 4. Qc2 against Nimbzo. Exchange variation (with Ne2) against QGD. Exchange variation (with 7. Be3) against Grunfeld. Exchange variation against KID. Exchange variation against QGA (think there's a pattern here!). Main lines for the offbeat stuff like Budapest, Albin etc. Oh and 5. e3 against Semi-Slav.

Black:

French Defence. Rubinstein variation against 3. Nc3 or 3. Nd2. 5...Nh6 against Advance variation.

Queen's Gambit Accepted.

Beyond that I just wing it and try and reach a playable position.

Why not the Ruy Lopez or even Bishop's Opening instead?  2.Bc4!? does have drawbacks (2...Nc6! brings the game into more traditional waters) but otherwise prepares an f4 thrust after castling, d3 and Ne2.  In the Ruy Lopez white can play f4 in some cases after castling and preparing the thrust better than the premature 2.f4?!  

The Najdorf and Paulsen are superior to the Dragon, which always seems to have a dark cloud hanging over it. 

As White:

Giuoco Piano

Ruy Lopez

King's Gambit

Queen's Gambit

As Black:

VS 1.e4:

Petrov Defence

Sicilian/French Mix of confusion

Alekhine's Defence

VS 1.d4:

Grunfeld Defence

Working on the Dutch, but I'd be glad for some help with theory...

So, yeah... 

you shouldn't waste your time with hsong. He's a troll and should be ignored.

I would like a ''partnership'' with another member(s) to discuss variations/ideas of the openings in #1 with.
Requirements:

-Friendly
-Fluent in English, French or Dutch
-Preferably a comprehension of 1900+ 

WHITE:

1 Nf3: English-style setup with Kingside fianchetto. Almost universal follow-up is 2 c4. Against 1...d5, 2 c4 in Reti style, although I am considering 2 d4 a la Kramnik due to several problems with the Advance (2...d4) Variation.

1 c4: Botvinnk setup with Kingside fianchetto and Nge2.

1 d4: My former opening choice, only wheeled out occasionally when I find myself in a slump (aka losing a lot) with the two above choices.

BLACK:

Against 1 e4: Najdorf Sicilian (although I am still not 100 % familiar with all the theory since I have only played perhaps 10 Open Sicilians as Black this year), Petroff Defence & Caro-Kann Defence (the latter two have featured only very rarely, typically when I am not in a fighting mood).

Against 1 d4: King's Indian Defence w/ ...e5 against all but Four Pawns and Averbakh systems, Cambridge Springs QGD (the latter also features only very rarely).

Against 1 c4 or Nf3: KID setup.

Bird's: 1...d5

One funny thing I find with my repertoire is that my White openings typically avoid excess blood and gore, being "positional/strategic" systems, whereas my Black openings are supposed to be filled with blood and gore, being "attacking" systems. Of course, these stereotypes typically fly out the window in my games and it is not too surprising to find me playing quiet Najdorfs or explosive Retis. Just goes to show how labels don't construct the full picture of the opening.

White

King gambit (notvery often)

Scotch(every other game as white)

ruy lopez( 2-3 out of ever 10 games)

Black

E5 or caro khan

I play the Dragon and KID too if you want to discuss them.

Just including openings I would play in tournament games

As Black

1...d6, KID, Old Indian, Philidor sometimes Alekhine's Defense.

As White 1. e4

Italian, Max Lange, Delayed Alapin, Advance French, Advance Caro, KIA, Inverted Hanham

No pirc ?
