My favorite chess openings. (All links are to Wikipedia and Lichess).

I like studying the endgame because it's interesting and because it's important.

I don't like studying chess openings because it's tedious and because I'm lazy. To solve this problem I use only 3 chess openings which I will probably use for the rest of my life.

When I have the White pieces (White moves first in chess) I always use the King's Indian Attack.

When I have the Black pieces I use two different openings. Which opening I use depends on White's first move. If White's first move is not (chess notation P-K4 or e4) I use the King's Indian Defense. If White's first move is P-K4 then I use the Sicilian Defence, preferably the Sicilian Defence, Najdorf Variation if that's possible.

The Najdorf is usually very violent and I frequently get killed when I use it.

My last game with the Black pieces I played the Najdorf and I won with it.

I always play chess at https://lichess.org/ because it's the best chess website in the world and because it's free and beautiful.

I can choose any time control I want. I prefer 10-minute games. Each player gets 10 minutes to finish the game. If somebody runs out of time before winning or getting a draw they lose the game.

My Lichess profile is at My Lichess profile.

One more thing: I will never be a chess master. When my opponent is a master I have only about a one percent chance of winning or getting a draw.
