[b]Your chosen openings are all sound but why so many?
I was asking you about to acknolewdge the abilities of your contender before you start a game ...
I agree with u ... just one or two defenses its enough ... its better to learn other aspects of this game than try to learn too much openings

Thanks Zebano.
I've heard of the Guicco Piano.
And now that you say it, I guess that I dimly recall it also being called the Italian Game.
Sort of the like the Ruy being called the spanish game.
You know, their really should be something called the Russian Game.
Does anybody call the Najdorf the Argentine Game? It should probably be named ...[text shortened]... sh, a Scotch, but no Russian and no American.
The Russians deserve it more than any country.

The point is that there is no Russian Opening and I doubt anyone would argue that the Russians deserve an opening more than the english, french, dutch, danish, italians, sicilians, or spanish, etc.
We should rename the Caro-Kann the Russian Defense.
