Your favorite opening(s) and why?

From	Message
tactical_abyss 08-Mar-13, 18:25	Your favorite opening(s) and why? I already had an idea from a new member...Roman about what your favorite opening is.Please list any/all your favorite openings and why?Is it because your success rates are high with the opening or other reasons? Mine happen to be 1.The Trompowsky and 2.English Symmetrical.Reason:I have had great success rates of wins with both.The Tromp moves out of book quickly which is what I want against all of those well trodden book lines.The Symmetrical tends to develop an intense struggle many times for control of the d4 and d5 squares leading to a double edged game.Most opponents as black move 1.c4,e5 but I prefer 1.c4,c5.Yes,it can be drawish,but not if you know how to handle it properly.
