Gee I don't know, I rather like his e4-e5 stuff for white and the mainline of the CKD, the Modern Alekhine is a solid variation. With black, I still play the From myself, but I'm not a real fan of the other stuff there either.

As white:

1. Ruy Lopez
2. Bishop Opening
3. Evan's Gambit
4. Urusoff Gambit


As Black

1. Modern Defense
2. French Defense
3. CK Defense.
4. e5
5.KID
6.Slav

I think my opening repertoire is great. I'll go through that list and list a few good things about that opening. I'm not trying to convince you that you should play these, but just to anyone that is interested (maybe you could even try one in a blitz game?):

Froms Gambit - I I don't see anything that nice about this opening, but I just want an open position where I can try to exploit the weakening of the e1-h4 diagonal.

Latvian Gambit - The Latvian is one of those openings which forces you to use your imagination. Why? Otherwise you will lose pathetically, i.e.: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 f5 3. Nxe4 Nc6 4. Qh5+ g6 5. Nxg6 Nf6 6. Qh3 hxg3 7. Qxh8 Qe7. There are few other lines similar to this one, where White grabs a lot of material, although Black gets open lines and a lead in development. What about this line: 3. Nc3?! fxe4 4. Nxe5 Nf6 5. Ng5 (this wins a pawn, right?) 5. ... Ng8!!? 6. Nxe4? d5 7. Nc3 Qe7+ Be2 Bxg4. While 6. Nxe4 might have been a mistake, 5. ...Ng8!!? is brilliant. You will lose your first 50 games with the Latvian, but you will eventually start winning games.

Budapest gambit - To be honest, I only play this in blitz. I play the Fajarowicz variation (1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e5 3. dxe5 Ne4), and I have gotten a few people with this trap: 3. a3 d6 4. exd6 Bxd6 5. Nf3 Nxf7!. Black can get some active play, but whether or not it is enough is easily debatable, but when you only have 5 minutes to think, the value of the initiative increases (due to the higher chance of someone cracking under the pressure).

Tennison gambit - After my opponent whips out 1. .. d5, I glance away, and acting as if I'm not paying attention, play 2. Nf3, write it down, and then get an "Oh my gosh" look. I obviously look like a complete idiot, and after 2. ... dxe4 3. Ng5 Bf4 4. Nc3 Nf6 5. Bc4 e6 6. f3 exf3 7. Qxf3, White is already threatening Nxf7 and Qxb7. 6. ... Qd4 probably considers attention, but Keres has played 6. f3, so I doubt it is really that bad of a move. The opening is only really for psychological and surprise value.

2. b3 French - 1. e4 e6 2. b3 d5 3. Bb2 exd4 4. d3 exd3 5. Bxd3, my bishops reign supreme on the open board, and the French player is crying because he can't smash down my center with c7-c5. Once again, this gambit is mainly for psychological value.

the ruy lopez, queen's gambit, english, king's Indian attack and reti openings as white, danish gambit, berlin classical defence, Alekhine's defence, and king's Indian defence as black, these openings usually amount to beneficial play for either the white or black player since their opponent has few moves to repond to them.

White:
1. King's Knight opening
2. Giouco Piano

Black:
1. King's Pawn Game
2. Sicilian Defence
