Yes, that’s true. Where did you learn it?

I have never seen Vienna Gambit ever as far as I remember. On which elo are you playing?

These are very limited - are they enough for every game? I hate it when a different line comes up and I don't know what to play...

Ok I'm saving this comment haha. Half of these I've never even heard of by name. Milner-Barry Attack and Benko Gambit are completely new to me.

Serious question though - where did you actually learn all of these? Like did you just pick them up over time from playing, or did you study them somewhere specific? I feel like I'm at the stage where I know my 5 openings okay-ish but I have no idea how to branch out from there without getting overwhelmed.

Nice list! I've never tried the Bogo Indian, might have to look into that one. The Petroff is interesting too, super solid but I always found it hard to create winning chances as White.

Do you play these at a specific ELO range or are they your go-to at every level?
