What whould be the best defence aganist e4 for a not-so-good player like me, because I always played e5 and this ussualy leads to Italian game - Giuoco piano or d4 normal variation (Giuoco pianissimo) which I absolutely hate as black - bishop pins night, tipicall trading rook and a pawn for bishop and a knight etc.
I think that Caro Kann would be nice alternative, I like the patterns and it seems way less theoretical and complicated than sicilian?
And is it more tactical or positional opening? It seems that it leads much often into open games.
Thanks for anwsering

for a not so good player I actually do say e5, otherwise c5.
the giouco pianissimo (quietest game) is where white plays 4. d3
if you hate the Piano for being too dull, the Two Knights Defense is more exciting (though you have to study a bit...) 3. Bc4 Nf6
maybe if you explain why you "hate" the italian game, it would help people come up with ideas for openings that you'd prefer.
I messed around with just about every opening against e4 but i ended coming back to e5! Two knights defence rules! If they play ruy play marshall attack!
Originally posted by pawnfondler it all depends if you wanna an open or close board. It is purely a matter of personal preference.
Hm, one letter away from joining your clan 😛 Surprised its got so few members, probably due to people not knowing that they fall into the INTP category 😛
