I prefer(and play myself) The QGD: Austrian Variation
It's not QGD it's QGR (refuted) and you play in a strange way lol.
well that's why I prefer the Salvio CounterGambit instead of e6
Very interesting line to be honest

You have rejected practically everything. This isn't the case of what we suggest but what remained to suggest.
Old Indian defense:
Advantages: Theory that can be easily learned as it contains common sense moves.
Drawbacks: You need to study many games to understand the positions as they are difficult to handle(and I'm sure that's good enough reason to reject it).
Mexican defense:
Advantages: No need to memorise theory. You can play it if you just understand some typical ideas.
Disadvantages: Less space but with the only opening that fights for space (Queen's gambit) rejected , that will be the case no matter what you choose.
One last comment. No opening will miraculously solve your problems without putting some effort. Chess is not an easy game.
The first way to improve is giving no credit to this kid that thinks he knows about chess
I love the dutch, especially as it can be played against the English and Reti etc. I play the classical dutch so can even start with 1...e6 and avoid all the nasty anti dutch systems
What's your problem with Saemisch against KID?
You have many possible replies for black with different type of pos.
Panno style with Nc6-a6-Rb8, Benoni style with c5, Benko with a6 and c5 followed by b5 at some point, u can play with e5, or a6-c6-b5, etc...
U have so many problems that we could consider u create them or just don't fix them well.
No need to go everywhere...
I'll consider it. Do you have any sources you learned it from?
not really, you just have to practice it in blitz and use opening explorer etc
I like to play the modern benoni but it's very difficult. Have to be thinking very well to play it well. At my age concentrating perfectly for three or more hours is becoming more difficult so perhaps I'm coming back to the idea of the QGD but the moment white transposes into a sub-standard QGA, then take the pawn on c4. Provided all the moves you've played fit into the c5, a6, b5, Bb7 QGA setup then play it if white deviates. A sort of delayed QGA. Exchange variation shouldn't be anything to worry about. White has either the minority attack, which isn't dangerous at all, or the much more dangerous opposite castling attack, which is generally fine for black if black hasn't played c6. Many people think that the best approach to the Catalan is also to take early on c4. I don't think the Catalan's all that dangerous but it does tie black down somewhat.

The best blind player in the world (at the time) showed me a c5 approach to the Samisch where black sacrifices a pawn and gets a superb position.

This?
This is the main way to fight Saemisch since 20 years and more.
At high level, nobody accepts the gambit and plays Nge2 or d5 with a Benoni position to come.
The point of playing c5 now is to avoid something like Nbd7 to play c5, allowing Nh3 (Bxh3 no more possible after Nbd7) : but we also changed our mind about this Nh3, which is not so troublesome for black.
