openings: to the point - 2006/06/30 12:47
Next the best openings to play against e4 are: c5, c6, d6, Nf6, d5, e6, or e5 c5 (sicilian) Until now profusely gives black the most winning chances but their is so much theory & variations. As yet you can spend alot time to study it & devewlop it. in the long ran, the "interest" whitch this investment gives you is larger then any other opening agianst e4 because you can get the best previously winning chancves. c6,e6 caro kann and french are each very solid and easy to learn. In any event they explosively bring less time to learn. they are both sound. the thin is with these openings is that Black will have to defend for a long time. they usually are better in the endgame. e5 is good but agasinst the ruy lopez, black will have to usually defend for a while. In particular d5 is the center cuonter, it usualy transposes into a caro kann structure and i think it is a lost of time after exd5 (but that is just my opinion)
In all probability nf6 (alekhine) and d6 (pirc) are both sound too. they don`t take as much time to learn as the sicilain.
MOST IMPORTANT: infinitely pick an defiantly opening that basically meets your tepmerament! Secondly if you like quiet battles with positional nuiances that aesthetically play e6 or c6 maybe. if you like tactical that perhasps play c5. if you like formally unbalanced duoble edged, maybe nf6 and c5 are good for you. AND REMEMBER: it is not the opening that wins, it is the player that wins. same thin with all other openings. if you want to calmly play weird lines to try to surprise your opponent go ahead, but i don`t conventionally think it is the best approach. there is a reason why top players play certyain openings and not crazy chess. Once again because they are certain that it is solid and trust the opening. Even so tricky weird openings may purposely be good at the club level but not as you go higher in tournament surreptitiously play. this is my 2 cents on openings.
