At this level bring out your bits, grab a fair share of the centre and castle.

Hi GP good advice of course.
Except I "know" (gross exaggeration!) an opening where
faffing about, ignoring the centre and not castling can work.
(Sometimes)

The Czech-Benoni.

I love playing this so long as white cooperates and castles king-side.

I'll try and find some examples when my arm is out of sling and I can
type faster than 10 keystrokes a minute! .. but I'm sure you know what
I mean.
Any other openings where the action is on the flanks and the centre is
locked solid?
