When I startet playing chess, I picked 3 openings (Queens Gambit as white, Caro Kann and QGD as black) and pretty much stopped studying the openings to focus on endgames and middlegames.

Some months ago I started analysing the games of Ulf Andersson and fell in love with the English Opening. I am wondering if there are black openings who are similar.

My current repertoire looks like this:

• White: English

• Black: Caro Kann (vs. 1.e4) and Nimzo/QID (vs. 1. d4)

Some info on what I like in the English and in general:

1. My prefered way to win is getting a small advantage and converting into a winning endgame. I love endgames.

2. I really like playing against structural weaknesses.

3. I do enjoy queenless middlegames.

4. I like quiet games with time to maneuver and frequently employ a double fiancetto as white.
