As White, e4 ...
vs ... e5 -- Ponziani.
vs ... French e6 -- Tarrasch (3. Nd2)
vs. Silician --- Smith Morra Gambit
vs Scandinavian (center counter) Defense -- 2. Nf3, 3. Ng5 etc.
As Black
vs. e4 -- Nf3 or Sicilian Hyper Acc Dragon, if I'm bored.
vs. d4 -- 1. c3, d3 line or KID, if bored.
vs. anything strange, default to KID.
That should about cover it for the Opening. Need to brush up on Tactics and Endgames.

Do What You Love
Well, what do I love? Let's see.
1. Reading.
2. BJJ
3. Chess
4. Making things.
Is it sad that writing didn't make the list?
Too bad, none of these pay the bills. But I know that in trying to monetize these activities will take the joy out of it and then I will no longer love doing them. But I have to eat. I have to pay the mortgage. Perhaps, I love it precisely because I can't make money at them.
Do something to pay the bills and then do more of what I love. For now, it's enough, I guess.
