My gut feeling: against 1. d4 Nimzo and Queen's Indian, against 1. e4 maybe the Sveshnikov or Paulsen, with white just the major 1. e4 and 1. d4 mainlines without many modifications - or anything else which is just a bit more mainstream ;). I am pretty sure that you'll have an easy time to reach a major improvement, and PM's fans will be grateful :). PEter
