Caro Kann
d5 is easiest and the last perfect!! King indian is a suicide or to train home strategy. And Benoni is played only at the circus show

Play 1.c6.
from there you have three options
Slav openings
Anglo-slav
Czech defence
You can also insert something like the 2.Qb6 anti london etc
ok, there are three basic responses to d4. they are Nf6, d5, and c5. if Nf6, learn the Old Indian. if d5, learn the Queens Gambit Declined. if c5, learn the Old Benoni. Each one of these is the basis for the more complicated defenses you can use later as your chess understanding evolves.

1.e6 also is a basic response to 1.d4
1.e6
Options :
(a) French Defence
(b) Bogo-Indian Defence
(c) Nimzo-Indian Defence
(d) Sicilian Defence
(e) St George Defence
(f) Semi-Slav Defence
(g) Slav Defence
(h) Old Benoni Defence
(i) Franco-Benoni Defence
(j) Ragozin Defence
(k) Queens Gambit Declined
(l) Horwitz Defence
(m) Kings Indian Attack by White
and many other options from there
Extra Benefit: No London as 1.d4 e6 2.Bf4 g5! and what its the Bishop doing getting kicked around and also 1.d4 e6 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Bf4 c6 or 1.d4 e6 2.Nf3 c5

Less good for obvious reasons.
I play 1...e6 against d4, expecting to transpose into either a QGD or French, so its defect is not so obvious to me.

This is kind of a good recommendation . Only you'd have to deal with the Caro-Kann Defence
Against d4, play either d6, d5, Nf6, c6, c5, e6, or f5. Every other move is crap, and only play g6, b6, and b5 if you’re going to play Bg7 next.

Against d4 , play either e6 , c5 , c6 , Nf6 , g6 , b6 , b5 , a6 , a5 , h6 or h5 everything else is garbage .
d4 d5 Bf4 or d4 d5 Nf3 Nf6 Bf4 leads to a London
d4 e6 is the best of all responses IMO

Hi,
I'm a beginner struggling against d4, ending in losing positions.
I was wondering what defense should learn. I was told i shouldn't learn the indian defenses until i'm an intermediate player. So i was thinking in learning the slav and semi-slav defense. I considered the Benoni, but that seems something more advanced.
Any recommendation?
Thanks.
