I've hit the wall...

1 d4 d6 httpscolon//lichess.org/9ybrWS59/black#2
1 d4 c6 httpscolon//lichess.org/UlXZVJqh/black
For the inexperienced, standard advice is to reply to 1 d4 with 1...d5.
1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 d5 httpscolon//lichess.org/JzqUmAP1/black
1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 d5 httpscolon//lichess.org/vlncjdmq/black
1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 d5 httpscolon//lichess.org/FkGCU5n9/black#4
For the inexperienced, standard advice is to react to 1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 with 2...Nc6.
For just about anybody, it is better to play something other than 2...d5.
