Sometimes it seems to me as if everyone thinks of the Petroff defense as ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ 😞 I happen to like playing it.My stance is there are no boring openings.What counts is the intention with which both players sit at the board.
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. d4 Nxe4 4. Bd3 d5 5. Nxe5 Nd7 6. Nxd7 Bxd7 7. O-O Qh4 8. c4 O-O-O 9. c5 g5{don't know about you but to me this looks more like it}
Two of the most "exciting" openings are the Kings Gambit for white and the Sicilian for black. With both the main point is to gain a pawn majority in the centre so as to have the better endgame.*
When someone calls your game boring its usually euphemism for "you havent played the dodgy variation that gives me enough of an edge to play my favourite mating attack"
it takes two to tango and boring games happen - but its the fault of both players -
