any 1)d4 opening for white which does not lead to a very closed,quiet position??

Sort:
GKfreak

any 1)d4 opening which lead to quite active play ( e.g kingside attack, tactical games etc)??

or 1)d4 will always lead to quiet and postional play ( e.g seizing an important c5 square , win by slowly improves the position etc) ??

i personally like the quite active play ( attack on the kingside, games which need quite accurate calculation )
, but i dont like 1)e4 because of the sicilian, and there are many responses also, like french, caro-kann.

so any suggestion??? will really appreciate it :D

  My first advice would be learn to love the Sicilian, French, Caro-Kann etc. as White and do a bit of research and come up with a very strong, but offbeat approach (Gambits in particular that you think you'd like to play) to the stuff you expect from Black but don't right now like to play.  Smith-Morra Gambit, for example, or Keres' Wing Gambit against the Sicilian; 3. Be3 vs. the French; or the Fantasy Variation of the Caro Kann come to mind.  If you played White 1. e4 and every Black player played the Legal trap in the Philidor's Defense for you and you always won in 7 moves (1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d6 3. Nc3 Bg5 4.Bc4 g6 or some other weaky-squeaky move 5. Nxe5 BxQd1 6. Bxf7+ Ke7 7. Nd5#),what fun would that be???   Take it like a man and learn to beat those openings!

  Secondly, If you want to play 1. d4 and then play wide-open attacking games . . . read over and then study through the games of Frank Marshall.  I believe he played 1. d4 about 75% of the time and was considered the greatest American attacking player until Bobby Fischer came along.  Some say that in Swahili the word "marshall" can be translated three ways 1.  counter-gambit  2.  gambit  and 3. wild-azz crazy attacks.  Marshall has played his trademark move  Qg3 with Black or Qg6 with White in front of the other side's castled King on numerous occasions and won every time:  once the board was showered with gold pieces.

   Thirdly, 1. d4 Nf6 2. f3 is the lead-in to the Paleface Gambit (PFG) and the infamous PFG and the more infamous BDG (Blackmar-Diemer Gambit intersect after either 1. d4 Nf6 2. f3 d5 3. e4 dxe4 4. Nc3  or 1. d4 d5 2. e4 dxe4 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. f3 with Black's next move usually 4. ... exf3 and then 5. Nxf3 mainline BDG or Qxf3 mainline Ryder Gambit both are very exciting and fun to play . . . these openings don't do exceptionally well against masters but are probably the very best club openings ever conceived. 

    Better yet, do all three over about a year and see how much fun you'll have and how fearless you'll be!  Good Luck!!

I don't know much about anything but for fireworks you can try KIA var.:

1) Nf3 ..
2) g3   ..
3) Bg2 ...
4) 0-0

Then 5) c4, d3, d4, e4 or whatever Blacks moves require the fireworks against!

Try the colle system. it leads to deflecting blacks pieces towards the queen side and then laucnhes a powerful lethal kingside attack with rook lifts and long range bishops: 1.d4 2. nf3 3 E3, 4. bd3. -colle system. the c pawn doesnt even need to be pushed!

My advice would be to throw away 1.e4, don't play the junk like the Colle or London, and learn the main lines of Queen Pawn Openings.  You want aggressive lines?  Here's my advice:

Against the Queen's Gambit Declined, play Rubinstein's Variation, where you go 7.Qc2 instead of 7.Rc1.  Often White will castle Queenside, and it's typically whichever pawn storm is faster.

Against the Slav, play the central variation with 6.Ne5 instead of the Dutch varition with 6.e3.  It's more agressive

Against the QGA, 3.e4 is a very agressive line for White

Against the Grunfeld, play the Russian Variation (4.Nf3, 5.Qb3, and 6.Qxc4 intending e4)

Against the King's Indian, play the Saemish or Four Pawns Attack.  Those both involve kingside attacks unlike the traditional Classical.

Against the Benoni, play the Flick Knife attack.

 

Hope this helps.

Try the BDG (Blackmar-Diemer) for a roller coaster game!

The Richter Veresov fits your requirements nicely. Masters can use this as a full repertoire answer and novices can learn the basics of it quite easily.

The positions are open and lively. It's not quite sharp enough for chess professionals to use regularly, but it's a fine opening for most players.

Here's one game that shows the basic idea:

This but i would add the recommendation of the queen's gambit declined exchange variation with either Nge2 + f3 or with 0-0-0 set-ups. I have a feeling that this is the line a 1.e4 player would choose and doesn't seem to get very closed(in the Nge2 + f3 line white will play e4 at some point). I have close to no experience with the line though so i could be wrong.

This match played in a simultaneous exhibition by Jan Timman shows what type of firework is possible in the BenOni:

In theory, he could play like this, but it often ends up being very dry.  It might be open, but check out this game.  It's full of tactics, and while the last 20 moves are more technical chess, and a mere matter of White executing the won position, getting there is full of tactics.  Check this game out:

I of course am White here.

I think you will need something for the Cambridge Springs after 5...c6 6.Nf3 Qa5 and the Nimzo. Hou Fan has been using 3.Nc3 Bb4 lately so I guess it's ok.

Nice game, and very tactical for a queen's gambit declined. Might look into that line.

Tactics and attacks can come out of any opening. You just don't want to play 1.e4 because of non-e5 responses. But unless you are playing someone who's pretty numb, those games don't end in big tactical fireworks either.

I always hear about the danger of the colle and London but I don't get it. What makes them so dangerous for the black king?

In and of themselves, they are not particularly harmful. But when Black starts thinking he's in the clear and White has no play, the likelihood for a sudden eruption goes waaaaay up.

Suggest to play Colle, London, Tromposky.. and My Fav is QGD
