If you had to face Carlsen.

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

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.

FireFromIce

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

@ stuzzicadenti -- true

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

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

Scythian741

It's a secret.

1 d4 and play for the win

London System trying to stay as solid as possible...

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
