Here are the usual responses to 1. d4: 1. d4 b5 1. d4 b6 1. d4 c5 1. d4 d5 1. d4 d6 1. d4 e5 1. d4 e6 1. d4 f5 1. d4 g6 1. d4 Nc6 1. d4 Nf6 As you can well imagine, there are a lot of permutations that follow these. Therefore, if you have a specific question, why not quiz the true opening experts on: news:rec.games.chess.analysis Sometimes you get a real guru to give you a response. Or at least somone who owns the ECO.
