What are your favorite five openings and defenses? One grandmaster suggested that you learn to play one opening/defense better than anyone, so I am working on Ruy Lopez’s opening and the Scandinavian defense. Supposedly, Bobby Fischer’s most used opening was Ruy Lopez’s. I’d like to learn as many openings and defenses as possible; however, you have to start somewhere so what are your favorite five?
"... Overall, I would advise most players to stick to a fairly limited range of openings, and not to worry about learning too much by heart. ..." - FM Steve Giddins (2008)
