c5 to Kasparov's e4

Since Kasparov started with the most common opening move, Pawn e4, I would play an aggressive answer, Pawn to c5 (c5). This is my favorite move.

d6 to Kasparov's e4

This opening is a Modern Defense. Black has a good game with Kasparov using this opening lately. Many players underestimate this reliable opening and it should be played more often. I'm comfortable using this against anyone, including Kasparov."

c5 to Kasparov's e4

First step in the Sicilian Defense.

c5 to Kasparov's e4

I recommend 1...c5 (Black pawn to c5). This defense (the Sicilian Defense) provides Black with good counterattacking possibilities, and should create an interesting and dynamic game.
