Hello everyone,
I'm studying chess seriously for few months and I'm still working on my repertoire as black. I decided to play 1.c6 against 1.e4 to avoid all the Sicilian theory for now (maybe I will come to the Sicilian later). But I don't know what to play against 1.d4.
At the beginning, I decided to play the King's Indian Defense because it was a nice way to meet not always d4 but also others first move and also because I've seen numerous games by Fischer, Kasparov and was fascinated by the opening. However, my opponent often deviate from theory so I've got to plan by myself very soon and general and I have trouble with that. So I'm thinking about trying lines like ragozine/nimzo-indian against 1.d4. I don't think I will be confident with 1.d5. I also thought about the Old Benoni with c5 directly.
That's the reason why I'm asking to your help. I don't really know yet what kind of player am I. I think I am more dynamic than static but that's all. I like to attack a lot but I also enjoy when I reach equal endgame where technique can be the difference (I'm still working on my endgame abilities though.. ^^).
My white repertoire if it can help you to give me advice: Scotch Four Knights, Smith-Morra Gambit, King's Indian Defence, King's Gambit, Botvinnik System.
Thank you all for your help
So if you have any advice to chose repertoire...
