Hey guys,
I'm preparing for an important and quite strong tournament, and I want to have a solid overall opening repertoire. But I somehow can't find the right opening against 1. d4 with black...
I already played around with the Old-Benoni, the Slav, the Knights Tango, the Budapest Gambit, the Kings- and Queens-Indian Defense, the Hippo and so on, but every single one of them was not perfectly suitable for me...
I like sharp and tactical postions, but I also play the Caro-Kann and enjoy more solid gameplay.
What are you guys playing when you want to seriously counter 1. d4?
I'm especially courious about some rare counters, I want to avoid the mainstream openings where my opponent is more experienced than me...
Thanks everyone!
