1...b6:0 votes

1... G6: 0 votes

1... E5: 2 votes

i vote 1... Nf6

1. d4 Nf6 of course, since you can quite easily transpose to d5 lines, whereas you may have trouble playing the King's Indian after 1. ...d5!

d4 Nf6 or d4 d5.  i think d4 c5 is inferior to both of the other choices

What's the over/under on how long it takes the Englund Gambit trolls to take over this thread?

Wow, that didn't take long at all...

What?

I vote 1...Nf6 not because of flexibility but because of pieces before pawns.

Aiming for flexibility caused one to drift.

I added more choices if people don't like any.

Shailen24

Some of them r bad.

d4 d5

I'd say 1...Nf6 because it offers more choices and Black can switch to QGD later if he wants.
