If you had to face Carlsen with white pieces, what opening would you choose and why?

Avatar of ewq85

Ruy Lopez. Its the best scoring for white last time I checked and I'm decent with it so I just might make it past move 10 lol.

I'd play the opening I know best, that way my free lesson is more useful to me.

Vienna. But only because I know it.

Or I might even have tried the King's Gambit – if I'm playing Carlsen, I'm going to lose anyway, so I might as well mix it up a little and go crazy.

I would play 1. d3 and if 1. ...e5  then 2. d4

It would make no difference lol. The King's gambit, though.

Truth, against any grandmaster I always play 1. e4. [with White]

If you're rated anything below 2200 Carlsen seems to like obscure sidelines and crazy gambits.

What's great is I imagine he'd be willing to do it too Laughing

On a second thought, I'd honorably resign. Laughing
