What do you usually play against the different openings? Like what line, with what plans, etc, and what has worked for you, and what didn't. Sorry if the question is too vague. I understand this could take you many paragraphs to answer. If you want, I can reduce it to just a few openings.

So with black its actually quite easy. I play A sicilian (sveshnikov) (against Bowdler attack i play 2. E6 and follow it up with d5 to kick out bishop, normally it checks me and i play Nc6 and have no problem with the doubled pawns(if Nf6 was played before bowdler just the same setup)) against 1.e4 and KID or any weird dutch against D4, do you need actual lines or just the name? Any other weird opening i just copycat it. With white i play vienna against e5, leonhardt gambit against scandi main line, against modern i play d4 after Nf6. Against sicilian either a smith-morra gambit or an open sicilian, maybe even a moscow variaton. Against french i go for the advanced which for me leads to more interesting positions, i have an interesting trap after "e4 e6 d4 d5 e5 c5 c3 Nc6 Nf3 Qb6 Bd3" seemingly giving up the pawn, but it actually threatens to win queen/knight if black does dare to take. If any small center defense happens just e4 d4 Nf3 nc3 and either Be3 Bd3 or Bf4 Bc4. Any other specific openings?

This is just to inform the thread's author that I have no questions about chess

Cheers

@ATM015 Thanks. Actual lines for the openings that you do best with would be better, if possible. Only for those where you feel you do really great, or have an easy game most of the time.

Ill start with my fav

Bowdler and delayed bowdler

Now scandi

I dont have any others that are all too great ngl. Maybe just an example of my french trap:

Thanks, and yes, that is a very common blunder in the French at the beginner level. I like your lines in the Sicilian. What's the idea of the gambit in the Scandinavian? I could use a new line to play against the Scandi.

Its great for piece activity, and its hard to find the best moves with black, i had a +3 advantage against a 2100 twice playing it, so its hard to refute. Qd6 is best, but a lot of them (most) try to stay on the a file.

Its also very rare, which is why a lot of players dont know what to do, and even some that faced it, walked into the same traps again
