My current white repertoire (WEAK!)

Wow I almost know nothing about what I am going to play. I know about 4 moves in a few lines... and that is about it! I really should flush this out a bit and know what I am going to do against each major defense...at least a bit!

Wow... Very Very Very weak!

Well at least this is a start. Now I can find a hole and plug it. Except I have no foundation! Ok 1st order of business is to learn more of my primary opening. At least get my response to the major lines down pat. Then I can fill in the gaps against the major defenses I will see. Specifically flush out the Philador and for now plug the French gap by determine a basic line in the exchange. Then I can fill the glaring hole against 1. e5 Nf6

1. e4 e5 ( 1... e6 2. d4 d5 3. exd5 I was playing for the Alekhine Chatard attack but since my return to chess I have totaly forgotten it. ) ( 1... c5 2. Nf3 with the idea of g3, Bf2, d3, Re1 and eventually either f4 or if allowed... c3 and d4. Again I can get a decent game out of the opening. Perhaps I will study the siclian sometime... ) ( 1... d5 2. exd5 Qxd5 ) ( 1... Nf6 UH OH! ) ( 1... d6 UH oh! 2. d4 ) ( 1... g6 UH oh! ) ( 1... c6 2. d4 d5 3. e5 Bf5 4. g4 Not sure I really want to play this but this is what I have been playing lately. Probably in a slow game I would play Bd3 for now. Since that is the line as black I have looked at the most. ( 4. Bd3 Bxd3 5. Qxd3 e6 ) 4... Bg6 5. h4 h6 6. h5 Bh7 ) 2. Nf3 Nc6 ( 2... d6 3. d4 Bg4 ( 3... Nf6 This was as far as I knew 4. Bc4 ( 4. dxe5 Nxe4 5. Bc4 Nc6 6. Bxf7+ Kxf7 7. Qd5+ Be6 8. Qxe4 d5 9. Qf4+ ) 4... Bg4 5. Nc3 Nc6 6. Nxe5 Bxd1 7. Bxf7+ Ke7 8. Bg5 ) 4. dxe5 just playing an early exchange in this line and just straight development. I have been favoring quick opening of the center and piece developement when I can just play tactics. ) 3. d4 exd4 4. c3 dxc3 5. Nxc3 Bb4 6. Bc4 Nf6 ( 6... Bxc3+ 7. bxc3 ) 7. e5 Qe7 *
