Fried liver sucks to go against, but fun to use

The scotch is horrible to play against. I don't use it well, but I don't defend it well either.

Kings fianchetto opening is second on my list.

I feel comfortable at fried liver as black.

What I really hate is the Bird. English isn't comfortable for me as well, thus I'll try to transpose to Dutch stonewall if possible which I like to play.

The Scotch. All of black's options, while equalizing, are UG-ly! 😛
second that, it's one of the reasons I play c5 instead

as white I hate seeing the scandinavian, cant use my KIA against it

as black I hate seeing closed Sicilians (as any c5 player would)

Interested to know what openings people struggle against!

For me
When I play 1.e4 I'm not so good against The French
When i play 1.d4 I'm crap against The Grunfeld

How about you guys?
as white: hypermoderns
as black: Exchange Caro-Kann after 1. e4 and the Exchange Slav after 1 d4 c6 2. c4 d5

I don't know some of the Scotch lines with Bc5 are quite fun
