I play black much much better than white OTB which is quite odd. I have put this down to the fact I don't really have any clue about any particular opening. I want to choose one opening and go really deep and study it but cannot make up my mind which to choose. Everyone seems ot have their pet line.
My fide is 1800 which is not too bad considering I don't really have a clue what i'm doing.
I was thinking something that does not require too much study of sidelines and gambits.
I used to play 1.e4 a lot (i used to like tactics) but not sure if i'm an attacking aggressive player or more of a counter attacker, or really just a negative petrov sort of person..
So I have been experimenting and narrowed it down to:
1.d4
2.c4 (1.c4, 2.nc3, 3.nf3)
3.nf3 (transposing into QGD or KIA)
4.KIA
5.1.e4! (be a man!)
anyway any advice in choosing a white opening would be appreciated, thanks.
