Id use the same single word for either of my 2 current favourite openings so will accept guesses of either or both. The word is SOLID

There is no such thing as a "Black Opening".  There is no such thing as a "White Opening" either.

 

The Opening is decided by both sides, not 1.

 

For example, The French Defense is NOT a "Black Opening".  To say it is a Black Opening implies that 1...e6 and 2...d5 makes it a French.

 

So 1.d4 e6 2.c4 d5 is the French?

How about 1.Nf3 e6 2.c4 d5?

Maybe 1.b4 e6 2.Bb2 d5?

 

Pa-Leez!

 

Even Opening moves that White can almost force are still not "White Openings"

Last time I looked, 1.d4 e5 White is going to have a hard time driving the opening into a London System.  Again, not a "White Opening".

 

The opening in each game is just that, THE OPENING.  It is determined by the moves from both sides!
