Openings and Online Repertoire

The numbers show a broad and practical repertoire rather than a player tied to one fashionable setup. In blitz, the English Opening and its many variations appear frequently, while the Ragozin and Sicilian Defense provide plenty of counterattacking opportunities with Black. The Hungarian Opening also makes regular appearances, occasionally with the sort of gambit energy that suggests Kacheishvili does not consider material to be a permanent arrangement.

His strongest recorded high-volume opening results include the English Opening: Drill Variation and several English Opening systems played with White. In rapid chess, he has also scored perfectly in a number of small samples, including the Réti Opening and selected Sicilian structures.
