my own variation of a mix with Modern Defense and Pirc; basically, a fianchetto on the kingside attacking the queen side...sometimes I transpose it to the lion's defense if the board is too closed, or crowded.

I have won 18, lost 3 as black.

Ruy Lopez is cool.
Fried Liver Attack is brillaint but not always an option.

I've had the most success with the Caro-Kann. Really works well against lots of internet players who love to all-out attack. They don't have the patience to break the CK properly.

I feel like I am having good success with the London System as white.

In live games I've had probably the most success with the Evans Gambit....I like Gambits cuz I usually end up down in material anyway so why not gain an advantage in position if you're going to be down in material anyway?

I have had the most success with this opening: "If I said you had a great body, would you hold it against me?"

It has worked 2 times (out of 21 attempts).

The french defense!

Actually the Bb4 line of the english has been very good to me (I play the english and black plays the Bb4)
