Hi everyone,

I've been playing 1...e5 as my main defense to 1.e4 for a few months now, and I seem to be getting to grips with most of the openings after 1...e5.  However, the KG is KILLING me, and I think I've tried everything.  My current record is 1 win, 0 draws, 28 losses (some to players rated up to 500 points lower than me)!  I'm over 50% on the Black side of the Ruy and the Italian, so it's really the KG that's destroying me.  I generally like solid, positional chess, so the KG presents some problems.  I have Davies' book, but 2...Bc5 seems really passive and Black has to weather some pretty heavy storms (although it's my only win vs. the KG).  Does anyone have a recommendation?  I have Kaufman's book, and I've tried 2...d5 with a reasonable position after the opening in a few games, although White's understanding of the position usually leads to my resignation before move 20.  I like the idea of playing 1...e5, but not if many of my games go 1.e4 e5 2.f4 1-0.  Please help!!

Thanks,
Scott
