I will go with d6 again. We do not need to castle yet.

I prefer to castle here. Depending on how white responds we may want to play d5 instead of d6.

- d6: staying in the main line (7.Bb3 d6 8.c3 0-0)
- Bb7: Trajković Variation in which "Black sacrifices a pawn to activate its pieces" (8.c3 d5 9.exd5 Nxd5 10.Nxe5 Nxe5 11.Rxe5 Nf4)
- O-O: initiating the Marshall Attack (after 8.c3 Black plays the gambit 8...d5, sacrificing a pawn)

However, White can play one of the "anti-Marshall" move: 8.a4, 8.h3, 8.d4, or 8.d3 (instead of 8.c3).

We will do great if we arent sacrificing pawns in this kind of game. A grandmaster would easily take advantage of that. Best way to keep it as equal as long as possible.

Sometimes I lose and don't learn anything!
If you are not sure where you went wrong try asking your opponent after the game is over.
0-0?
I don't mind losing as long as I learn something from the game.
Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn.
Sometimes I lose and don't learn anything!
today i lost one game of chess playing with my friend so sadly

I don't like this opening so far. I always go for the Grunfeld defense when I play black.
I like playing the Grünfeld Defence when I get the change against 1.c4 and 1.d4 too. What opening do you prefer against 1.e4? The Sicilian?

I vote for d6
It opens up the possibility to pin his knight and that pin could not be resolved without giving us time for one additional move
Yes, this is the best move in my opinion. Defending e5 as well. d6 2 vote (Morecoin Freeman, mammut)
