Question

In Chess, What are some aggresive openings for black (both e4 and d4)?

Answer 1

Hi,

     Just visit my personal chess web page - link below?  See 'OPENINGS' on the main page!  I hope this is helpful for you.

Yours sincerely,

Answer 2

Against 1.e4

The Sicilian defence. Also the Scandinavian with 2...Nf6. Several lines of the mutual king pawn are aggressive, e.g. the Two Knights Defence to the Italian Game, the Marshall Gambit against the Spanish, etc.

Against 1.d4

The King's Indian, the Budapest Defence (especially the 2...Ne4 line), the Benko Gambit, Albin's Countergambit.

These are the most aggressive lines.

Answer 3

Against e4, the Sicilian (c5) is generally regarded as most aggressive. Other openings may not become sharp unless White allows it.

Against d4, the following are common sharp responses.

King's Indian

Benoni

Benko Gambit

Dutch Defence

Budapest Counter-gambit

Although with the exception of the Dutch (f5), these all begin with Nf6, to which White has some annoying responses designed to prevent things getting sharp.

Answer 4

With white going e4 the best aggresive response is c5 sicilian defense.  

If white goes d4 go nf6 (many different openning variation).  If white then respond with preventing you from having this aggresive response open things up to exchanges. With things opened up on the board material threats are less but positional threats become evident.  You have to have better structure when you do this(no isolated pawns).  Got to control ranks and files of the board.  Good luck.
