There is one best defense in chess. It’s the perfect opening. It’s rich, simple to learn, leads to numerous different types of positions. It can be slow and positional or wild and tactical, depending on how you decide to play it. Best of all, it’s extremely hard for white to play for an advantage without risking a lot.

Chess openings can be a disaster if you aren’t familiar with typical tricks, traps and patterns to punish them. My opponent made mistake typical for the Panov Caro-Kann structure and was in trouble and down material out of the opening.
