majorpaine 14-Jun-08, 13:10	i enjoy countering and playing agressive
pgroenborg 15-Jun-08, 09:47	Sicilian as black might be something for you. Countering is exactly what it is about. I love sicilian myself! Actually as white 1.e4 is aggresive too, but then I don't know how many will go for 1...c5
beachview 15-Jun-08, 14:32	Yes, the Sicilian rules I agree that the Sicilian is the leading defense to e4 these days. But I never play it, in part because I figure my opponent knows it better than I do. I answer e4 with c6 (Caro-Kann), d5 (Scandinavian), or even Nc6 (Nimzowitsch). As white, I play f4 (Bird's Opening), b3 (or, maybe better, 1. Nf3 2b3), the Nimzo-Larsen, or, sometimes, the Stonewall or Colle. When I was last a serious chess player, over fifty years ago as a teenager, the Queen's Gambit Declined was the dominant opening. But I avoided that too. Maybe it's time for me to face the music, bite the bullet, and study the Sicilian.

Sure, the Sicilian is my choice defensively and the Queen's Pawn Opening as offense. I have played a lot of Gruenfelds...very fast play! However, find a likely choice and stick with it so you may learn or develop a strong repertoire. I have played many chess enthusiasts who continue to try a new opening every time they play. They sometimes become disenchanted and yet, those that have continued with a specific opening idea have improved their ratings!
e4e6 17-Jun-08, 03:45	If you are an agressive player, play what I've played a number of times in the past. Against 1.e4, the Latvian Gambit (1...e5 2.Nf3 f5!) Against 1.d4, the Modern Benoni (1...Nf6 2.c4 c5 3.Nc3 e6) White, Sokolsky's Opening (1.b4, and there's a new book out on it) Note: If you want something more sound than the Latvian, 1.e4 d5 2.exd5 Qxd5 3.Nc3 Qd6 isn't bad either. Either way, you'll need reading material on each of them. They aren't lines you can learn simply by playing.
