So much, much, much better to be an incurable optimist than deceitful and untrustworthy.

Steinitz's Theory
1. At the beginning of the game, Black and White are equal. 2. The game will stay equal with correct play on both sides. 3. You can only win by your opponent's mistake.
4. Any attack launched in an equal position will not succeed, and the attacker will suffer. 5. You should not attack until an advantage is obtained. 6. When equal, do not seek to attack, but instead, try to secure an advantage. 7. Once you have an advantage, attack or you will lose it.

Controlled Aggression, according to GM Nigel Davies...

I believe that 1 e4 is the most suitable move for players who like to attack; by its very nature 1 e4 pursues the initiative. It immediately opens diagonals for White's queen and king's bishop and aims for fast development and piece activity.

At club level it is advisable to play less well-known lines offer greater scope for creativity and have an element of surprise. After 1…e5 the modern lines of the Scotch (2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 exd4 4 Nxd4 Nf6 5 Nxc6 bxc6 6 e5) offer an interesting and creative game.

If your opponent plays the French with 1…e6 I suggest avoiding the Closed Structures which French players relish by playing 2 d4 d5 3 exd5, the Exchange Variation. I know what you're thinking but it isn't as drawish as its reputation would have us believe. Kasparov himself flirted with the Exchange a few years back and the Russian GM Ulibin still wields it with effect. After 3…exd5 you go 4.Nf3 and will often create an unbalanced position by playing a subsequent c2-c4.

Against the Caro-Kann Defence you can adopt a similar method by specializing in the Panov-Botvinnik Attack (1…c6 2 d4 d5 3 exd5 cxd5 4 c4).

The Sicilian is probably the most popular reply to 1 e4 and playing the sharpest lines involves a huge amount of work. Yet there are a number of players who do well on a diet of 6 Be2 lines against almost everything, whether it's the Najdorf (1…c5 2 Nf3 d6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Nf6 5 Nc3 a6), Scheveningen (5…e6), the Dragon (5…g6) or the so called Classical Sicilian (5…Nc6). You can't do this against absolutely everything and I suggest meeting the Kalashnikov (1….c5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 e5 5 Nb5 d6) with 6 g3(!) and the Sveshnikov (1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Nf6 5 Nc3 e5) with 6 Ndb5 d6 7 Bg5 a6 8 Na3 b5 9 Nd5 Be7 10 Bxf6 as Kasparov has done in a number of key games.

The way to get into these lines is to look out for complete games on the chesspublishing.com sites keeping an eye out for names such as Viktor Kupreichik and Ilya Smirin. These guys are both highly effective Be2 specialists.

Against other defences go for 4 Bg5 against the Pirc and Modern Defences, meet the Alekhine's with 4 Nf3 and against the Scandinavian (1…d5) remember not to block your c-pawn with 2 exd5 Qxd5 3 Nc3?!. The world is coming to understand that White should probably go 3 Nf3 and follow up with 4 d4, 5 Be2, 6 0-0 and then hit Black's queen with 7 c4. This gives White much better central control (that d5 square) than traditional Scandinavian lines.

Due to the fact that normal openings tend to give White a slight initiative, players who like the initiative tend to have most of their problems when they are Black. One line which makes a structural concession for the initiative is the Sveshnikov Sicilian (1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 cd 4 Nxd4 Nf6 5 Nc3 e5!?) and the Dragon (1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 d6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 Nf6 5 Nc3 g6) is also a firm favourite with attacking players. If you balk at the amount of work involved with these lines consider the Accelerated Dragon (1 e4 c5 2 Nf3 Nc6 3 d4 cxd4 4 Nxd4 g6) which has a very sound reputation but still offers Black active play.

Against 1 d4 there are many counterattacking lines including the King's Indian (1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 g6 followed by 3...Bg7, 4...0-0 and 5...d6) and Gruenfeld (1.d4 Nf6 2 c4 g6 3 Nc3 d5) Defences. The Leningrad Dutch (1 d4 f5 followed by 2....Nf6 and 3....g6) has been less well mapped out and offers original play and excellent chances to gain the initiative against anything but the most accurate play by White.
