This tried-and-true opening will stand up to master level play - and even offer a few nasty surprises to your opponents.
Against 1.e4, another opening with full of calculation stands for Sicilian. Well, the reason Sicilian you don't need to do much memorization as other openings and in most cases all you need would be to setup the simple structure.
