Repertoire ideas/ recommendations
I am seeking an opinion on repertoire for reaching 2000 rating 3+2 blitz on chesscom. For context, I am trying to shape my repertoire for blitz and rapid, I also want it to be playable in classical ideally, my classical is around 1460, but I suspect I am under rated. My rapid rating is 20XX on chesscom as well. My blitz is now around 1690, I have gained 125 points since last month. I know what I am asking is maybe too much but to those who have the time to read and give some ideas, I am very thankful.
With white I play 1.e4
-against 1...c5
For the past 4 months I have been playing the open sicilian following Anish giri's repertoire recommendations from his chessable course. My success in blitz and rapid online is around 52% according to opening tree.
- against 1...e5 I play the Italian,
\-against 3...Nf6 I go for Ng5 win rate is around 58% according to opening tree.
\-against 3...Bc5 I go for O-O and an early d4 (Deutz gambit) my win rate is sitting at 73%
\-against the Petroff however my win rate is 42%, I cannot seem to figure out a good system against it...
-against 1...g6/1...d6 my win rate is around 41% I tried to do a setup based on Be3 Qd2 and trade off the dark squared bishop.
-against 1...e6 I play the Tarrasch French win rate sitting at 50%.
-against 1...b6 I play a similar setup where I try to trade off the bishop, my win rate is around 63%.
Now with black
I play 1...c5 against 1.e4
I have a win rate of 49%, I follow the Supercharge Najdorf on chessable, excellent course.
- Against 1.d4 I play 1...c5, trying to get into a modern Benoni structure, but avoiding all the trompawsky, London system lines.
I have a 63% win rate against it.
- Against 1.c4 is where I struggle the most, I tried 1...e5 / 1...Nf6 but my win rate is terrible at 25%
- Against 1.Nf3 I am sitting also at 32% win rate.
I guess those are the biggest wholes in my openings, is there anything I can do to combine 1.Nf3 and 1.c4 in order to get a similar Benoni structure or even a different system, that I can tackle both at the same time.
