Re: Favorite Chess Openings?
I used to love playing king's indian, but it gets hard against lines where white lodges a knight into your king side. So as black, I'm sticking almost exclusively to sveshnikov line of the sicilian against e4 and queen's gambit accepted against d4. For a lame 1800-2000 ELO player like me, the sveshnikov is pretty easy to play if white goes into any deviation from the mainline and the the queen's gambit accepted often leads to a nice dynamic hedgehog defense if your opponent isn't an opening know it all. As white, I go e4 as a matter of style (positional chess? what's that?). I will try to stay in the mainlines (or as much as I can remember) for the sicilians. I know winawer is better against the french, but I've always been too lazy to learn it, so I usually go with the evil I know with the tarasch, which tends to be a positional line (and I have lost more matches online than I can count because of this choice).
