If you were world champion...

If you were the world champion, what openings would you try to make fashionable? As an aside, what openings are you fed up of seeing?

I would like to see more of the slav defense at the top level

You are kidding right, more slav defense 😲

Reti...difficult complicated middle game positions that explode into aggressive exchanges and Kings Gambit although I never play the latter corr or otb.
Fed up with Queens Gambits.....borrrrrring.

sicilian

Scotch, King's Indian Attack

Any and all 1 d4's

And I would ban the Sicilian

i would do the bird, and throw the latvian on people. maybe not either against other top notch guys, but during tours and such

I'd probably push the Sveshnikov and the KID back into action. If only Radjabov would become World Champ.....😀

I'd play 1. a4 just to fck with people.

I'll quit playing the queens gambit when black quits playing the sicilian!
