Hi Gladiator! Here you have my answers:
 
1. d4
2. After Grunfeld... Ben Oni
3. Sicilian defense.
4. e5
 
Thanks.

I agree the Benoni is a fascinating opening and will be my choice with black for the next 6 months. When I went to watch Kasparov-Kramnik live in the 2000 World Championship I listened carefully to the GM commentaries live . I believe it was Short who said there is no more unbalanced opening against 1 d4.

In particular my favorite variant, the indobenoni. I feel that it is an opening with a great tactical possibilities... Whenever I play with it I have the impression to play to the border the abyss, me and my competitor.

1) your favorite first move as white D4....leading to Stonewall or queens gambit
 
2) your favorite opening as black against 1 d4 D5 Declining the gambit
 
3) your favorite opening as black against 1 e4 E6...I love the French defense
 
4) your favorite first move against 1 c4 NF6

A benoni is totally against my style. So if you start a benoni MOT I will make every effort to play.Its like playing chess on a cliff
