Choosing a chess opening is, I feel, a very personal process:) Having someone tell you what to play may not give you the optimal repertoire.
There are several things to consider when choosing an opening, whether for white or for black; What types of positions do you enjoy playing? Are you a wild and crazy player or do you prefer slow, positional games?
Do you play OTB or online? Are you serious about your improvement or is chess just a hobby? I have tried to answer all of these and more in an attempt to help you play the repertoire that suits you best.
