How does one get an open position against this?Is it possible at all?I want to avoid a positional struggle,open up the position and get some tactics in asap.But how?
All ideas and suggestions welcome 🙂
Originally posted by SirLoseALotIf by "open" you mean "sharp", you can try Leningrad Dutch. White can play e4 on 1. Nf3 f5, which is not for everybody taste, so you can answer Nf3 with d6 and get either Leningrad or open Sicilian depending on white second move. Both are sharp enough I think:-)

I think for it to be a Réti white must play the moves 1.Nf3 2.g3 3.Bg2 4.c4 and maybe 5.d4 too
Not necessarily in that order.If white does something else it transposes into some other opening,which is one of it's main virtues,being highly transpositional.
Mr Gambit3,I never said I encountered it here
Hey lloyd,thanks for the advise but I seriously dislike playing the slav.It's probably my best option though,I just might try it
Sac the g-pawn,Paul?Hehe,I expected nothing less from you 😉
The Leningrad crossed my mind too,that's another good option.Thanks,Hyper 🙂
Thank you all for your suggestions.I will have a look at them all,there must be something that suits me

It's not weird,that's a decent line for both sides
And if the Queen takes the knight, the bishop on c8 hangs with check.
That turned into a weird game
