White - Queen's gambit Accepted

Black - still trying to find the right one.. been doing French Advanced variation, but would prefer if white would use the Exchange variation!

White: Ruy Lopez - learn the basics first before venturing out.
Black: Petroff - strong against non-master players.

White - Trompowski Attack, Colle system and sometimes Torre Attack.
Black - Definitely my favorite is the Ruy Lopez Open.

with as many people who play the Ruy Lopez against me, you'd think I'd see more of it here.

I was kinda wondering about this myself. There's bound to be more Spanish (Ruy Lopez) players here somewhere.

As Black , usually against 1. e4 , I play the Sicilian and against 1.d4 , I play the Gruenfeld , should be pretty obvious by my user name . And as White , I prefer many different types so I've listed them accordingly to all games I've played on other sites.(e.g. www.gameknot.com )
Ruy Lopez : 11%
Queen's Pawn Game (1.d4 Nf6/d5 2. c4) : 35%
Centre Game : 9%
Italian Game : 10%
English Opening : 22%
Bird's Opening : 13%
