Seriously, why are you starting to "lose interest"?
Do you think it is objectively bad? Do you think it is too complex? Do you hate playing against 9. 0-0-0 lines? Are you bored with it?

(I play Sicilian Taimanov these days.)
I play e5. I have tried other Black tries; Sicilian, French, Caro-Kann, Scandinavian, Pirc, Modern. All are good ways to play, but I have always come back to playing 1. ...e5 as it is the best fit for me and where I feel more comfortable.
e5 is forced and tactical its shit for solid playrs like me

What I mean by 'Losing Interest' Is not the fact that It's bad, and usually unless my opponent plays The Yugoslav attack, it gets kinda boring.
i understand u try french its never boring
sometimes u get checkmted sometimes u win

BC Playing the same move set over and over again is boring and it does not use critical thinking; instead it uses memorization.

You gotta have guts for my suggestion broseph.
Grob grob grob.
Reverse grobs manuever. Or thats what Im calling it anyway.

White E4:
Black G5 like a boss.

Yes; it sounds crazy; but if your familiar with grobs then you know its not; and opens you up to a lot of fun.

Just went and used it. I lost the game via time; as the other player did a silly move on my premove that gave him my pieces; but you get the picture. Had a nice piece lead till it went haywire due to the time.
Grobs is MUCH better as white(G4); but its still fun either way.
Best if other player doesnt also go G4 on his second move. His move was a good way to stop me. If he didnt do that I would of left white bishop open so I could move pawn up to G4 and block his knight from being able to come out.

The second game is a example of me using another grobs variation as black; with a serious blunder on move 6 due to pawn en passant. But, due to grobs and the wackiness it provides; it still set me up for victory.
