then you don't know me

though sometimes I think black is better in the KG...care to prove me wrong cmsMaster?
If you want somebody that knows 3.Nf3, Cludi, Northern Lad, Aging Blitzer, and Dragon Fire are four of many players that have used it for years and know much, much more about it than me. I'm just a sub-1600 patzer trying to learn. 😀

4 problems:
1. Qxd5 is WEAK!
2. Qh5 is WEAK! what is it with people's obsessions with pinning that knight?
3. after Qh5?, white's best move is prolly d4, not Bc4 anyways
4. after d4, Bg4 is weak weak weak (like it usually is in the KGA) because after Bxf4, if black wanted to mass trade with ...Bxf3 Qxf3 Qxf3 gxf3, white has a great developmental lead. Weak kingside pawns? Well how's black gonna exploit that if he has no pieces out and white's on the offensive?

I say e4 e5 and what ever opening your opponent doe you can at least come to an even position. againstthe Ruy play the open var. e4 e5 Nf3 Nc6 Bb5 a6 Ba4 Nf6 o-o Nxe4 d4😀 I can even prove it will lead to an even position try me all openings with e4 e5 lead to even positoin name any opening with e4 e5😛

the Bishop's Opening is kinda weak imo thanks to the Berlin Defense with 2. ...Nf6 which develops and attacks the epawn.
If you play 1. e4, then as a beginner I really say either Scotch Game or Italian Game. The only problem with the Italian is that you also have to learn both the quiet Giouco Piano (Italian and Evans Gambits excluded) and the potentially complicated 2 Knights Defense.
of course with 1. e4, as you grow stronger and face stronger opponents, you'll find that you can't get away with not learning Sicilian and French lines (yeayea CaroKann, Pirc, Modern, Alekhine's too but...you seriously don't see them as much)

I would go for the French. The Sicilian is my first choice, but everyone and their dog plays it, which means that everyone is well practiced at facing it all the time.

Second, you probably see all sorts of crappy opening play around here. Who cares, its the people who know what they are doing you have to worry about.... and those people probably have more experience against the Sicilian than the French was my point.

First off, to the OP. Play the french and join the french defense clan..

To all those who struggled with the Schivi Sicilian, I think it is perfectly playable

btw, it being rude to call a person a liar depends on the culture, for example, plenty of people tell lies in France, and aren't embarresed if they get caught.
anyways, I was just pointing out the error in saying that EVERYONE knows how to deal with the Sicilian.

Originally posted by zebanoSure, the Svesh is definitely playable, I think we all agree with that. However, not everybody can understand the lines without an insane amount of work. You can show plenty of examples where it works, but there are plenty of others where it doesn't.

Originally posted by YUG0slavYeah, but you also don't like the KBG, so what do you know? 😀
I'll be honest to my biasness, the only open Sicilians I like are the Najdorf, Dragon, and Accelerated Dragon
i'm NOT saying they're the best and that everything else is crap, i'm just saying that they are the only systems I enjoy.
