Eric-Erard

The Scandinavian for me.

Do you hate playing against it? Or you hate playing it?

DaveinPdx

All the ones I don't play well against, which is most of them.

I thought I was playing an English but it turned out to be a Canadian.

My worst enemy is the fianchetto setups. I know a lot of theory in the Italian Game and the Sicilian Defense, but against 1.g3 or b3 I usually end up blundering the rook :I

I dislike playing against the French especially, but also the Scandinavian Defence. I don't love playing the White side of the Sicilian either.

Also: almost any opening when my opponent gets his Queen out right at the start.

I hate any patently unsound opening that I have to face. Either I win and it's because of the opening, or I lose, and it's because of the opening.

I hate Wayward Queen Attack/Napoleon Attack. I’ve learned enough I don’t just get checkmated all the time, but if my opponent brings out his knight to join his Queen I always loose my rook and spend half the game with his pieces under my nose. I’ve got to learn to deal with those Queen + 1 attacks, it’s ridiculous.

This.

I don't mind playing any standard opening, but when I get something like an engine eval of +2 on move 8, then it's just annoying.

King's Gambit it kills me.
