King's Indian, KID specifically. I also like playing Giuoco Piano, Scandinavian Defense and Nimzowitsch Defense: Scandinavian Variation

azure kelp
#

surprised i haven't seen the french

#

in here

#

it's how i always respond to the the king's pawn opening

icy stone
#

I mean are the positions open or closed, viable or unviable and is the Advance Variation of the French cancerous to play?

Sicilian is a really versatile tool for Black if you like attacking, especially with that one trap in the Sveshnikov

#

wait, that trap is for White. Nvm

# terse epoch talk in moves, not names

As the guy who loves men said
That would be a wall of text
Also I'm not trying to give you the setup via chess notation
That's to much work and I'm a beginner so I'm not very good in talking in moves
That's your own research to do
