  • Signature White setups: Bird Opening (especially the Bird Opening: Dutch Variation), the Amar Gambit and Amazon Attack lines — aggressive, tricky, and well-practiced.
  • Reliable Black replies: Czech Defense, Modern Defense and occasionally the Philidor family — aiming for counterplay and simplified endgames.
