I know the main line of the Giuoco piano game, I just need more openings to know!

I also know the lenningrad dutch, I am very basic right now

The StoneWall Dutch & French Pair up very well with each other.

I’m not sure about the Leningrad Dutch.

I don’t think it has a pair.

Hmmm. Thanks for letting me know, I will find a good source to play these openings.

me personally, i play the Philidor black lion, and the italian main line for black and white respectively, since they almost have the same idea with the knight (or atleast thats how i learnt it!

Thanks! I go against the philidor every now and then, I don't play it because I rather aim attacks toward weak pieces, I am not very passive in the early game.

If you claim to know that, then why did you play some wacky Qf3 nonsense instead in this game?

And why did you resign in an equal position?

SirFancy11012

I WAS BEING STUPID. It's fine to experiment right? I am bad at the game, look at my elo!

SirFancy11012

I was asking for help, not to be knocked down by a better player than me. If the only thing you came here to do is complain about my playing style, get out.

SirFancy11012

Check my most recent game, I came back from a losing spot after I made some mistakes.

tbh caro-kann is strong for black and same with the french. For white i would go for queens gambit or reti or kings pawn opening and ruy lopez ( Spanish ). I mean i can't say much im literally like 500 elo so...

SirFancy11012

I am using the openings you said very rarely in my past games.

BunWithGun6392

ok.

Compadre_J

Yeah, The StoneWall Dutch can be used against 1.d4 and the French can be used against 1.e4.

You can start with 1…e6 against both which can be nice

Thanks!
