Answer 1

Like the previous correspondent I play 1. e4 as White and if I meet

I play the Advance Variation against the Caro Kann Defence and attack down the f-file.

(c) 1. ... e6

I sidestep main lines in the French by playing 2 d3 and aim for a Kings Indian Attack as played by Bobby Fischer

(d) 1. ... c5

I sidestep main lines in the Sicilian by playing 2 Nc3 and 3 f4 and aim for a Kings Indian attack as played by Bobby Fischer

(e) 1. ... Nf6

I play the Four Pawns Attack against Alekhine's Defence.

(f) 1. ... g6

I play the Austrian Attack (d4 e4 f4 and Nc3) against the Modern/ Pirc

As Black, if I meet

(g) 1. e4

I play the Sicilian Kan Variation 2. ... e6 and 4. ... a6 and 5. ... Qc7 against 1. e4 as it is not well-known and I once beat a GM in a simul with this line

(h) 1. d4

I play the Leningrad Dutch or the New York System (a reverse London System) or the Modern Benoni

(i) 1. Nf3

I play non-commitally against the Reti, waiting for White to commit himself to a definite pawn structure.

(j) 1. c4

I play 1. ... e5 against the English and an early ... f5

(k) 1. f4 or 1. b3

I play to relinquish White's hold on e5 in the Bird-Larsen Opening by an early ... d6 ... Nc6 and ... e5.

Answer 2

The first move that I always do in chess is move the king's pawn up two spaces. It gives you a good offense because your queen has a place to come out and is also a good defense. Then what I do next as long as my opponent makes the same move I move my queen's pawn up two places. If my opponent makes any other move, however, then I move one of my knights up.

Answer 3

1 e4 for a change up 1 b4 (in short time controls for shock value)

Against the French, Caro-Kann, Sicilian, Alehkine, and Pirc God speed.:)

(I do not find any of the defenses a major problem. Anything else usually transposes to a weak Pirc.)

Answer 4

If white I like E2 - E4 , Ng1 - f3 , Bf1 -c4 black E7 - E5 , Nb8 -c6 , Bf8 - c5 now everything depends on the next couple of moves. Every game is different, if I'm playing with the same person I use different opening with every game, this confuses them until they learn your style.

Answer 5

I like to play the pawn in front of the Queen and move it two spaces forward because it throws a lot of people off their game. What comes next depends on their response. If they mirror me then I usually play the queen's bishop's pawn two spaces forward. There are two many variations to list here but this does limit the game some.

Answer 6

I take out my pawn from in front of the King as well in order to make room for my queen. It is good to keep the queen at full mobility range.

Answer 7

NO , u can move it forward if u like, but an intelligent guy would see the situation and make the move

Answer 8

As white, I'm an e4 guy. As black, c5 comes quickly, either a Sicilian or maybe a Benoni or some such.

Answer 9

pawn in the corners or in front of the king!

Answer 10

I'm kinda partial to c4
