I just received my dvd from Foxy Openings called, [b]Annoying d-Pawn Openings Kinda has a nice ring to it. 😵
I'm gonna memorize every move in this video and I'll be ready for you... all of you annoying d-pawn players. 😏
What do you use against annoying d-pawn players?[/b]

Benko as well - but I'm still not sure I'm going to stick with it - it's just so hard to find a "fun" response with black.

I've grown to accept, 1. d4 d5 games (though i still meet 1. d4 with Nf6) and don't really mind the lack of overall excitement (of course, as a Dragon player, cms wouldn't understand that...😉)

Originally posted by arrakisyou know i keep trying to learn about the d opening and am experimenting with it, ive watched a butt load of spasskys games and he usually leads d4 followed by c4 followed by knight f3 which is where i get lost in the positioning.

i pretty much only use it when i watch my opponents games and all i see is when there white e4,e4,e4,e4,e4,e4,e4,e4,e4,e4,e4,e4,e4 so i think lets throw em off there comfort zone. Sadly though at first opportunity after 2 or 3 moves i go e4 again to get comfortable as well 😕

Yes. I usually have a quick look through a couple of my new opponents games to see if there's an opening they like to play - but I won't automatically avoid that line - I'd be quite happy if it's a line that I'm studying. I do roughly prioritise games in terms of how much time I spend on them. If my new opponent seems a bit reckless/adventerous then I might just go right along with them and see what happens. There's no precise plan but sometimes what I pick up from looking quickly at their games will influence my choices.
