Whats the best response to d4? Is it Nf6?
Sort:
A flexible opening is more for advanced players who know many openings which he doesn’t
I understand the starting disadvantage black has. However somehow that has never been an issue against 1.e4. I still find myself doing a lot more than just defending, and I am able to create plenty of counter play. However with 1.d4, just totally find myself out of options when it comes to attack.
That is why I seemed to think it must be because the position is closed, as there was virtually no attacking options present. However I know now that its just the opening that I used that didnt allow any attack.
I do that, but personally I don't like playing black so I just do first move copy cat
I like 1...c5 in response to 1.d4 to surprise many of my opponent, but I admit this is risky for black if it leads to a Benoni.
First move copy cat is very dangerous don’t do that
Yes, in most openings, black gets into trouble quickly if he tries to copycat white.
i m a d4 player the most thing i hate is b6
@Yuvaleliba I have never given b6 a shot, largely because I love it when someone fienchettos, for it gives me a target for pawn storms and I consider it a weakness. However I open to giving it a try. Could you please elaborate on why you think b6 is a good defense.
the answer is more compliceted becuse there is number of ways white can do 'after d4
if its d4 c4 rhe nimzo indien is very good reaply
else....
you have to prevent white play e4
Just watch out for the London System
