	I would say your best bet is the french, but you would have to like advanced structures: 1 e4 e6 2 d4 d5 -3 Nc3 Nf6 going for an advanced setup but there are some tricky sidelines you have to know -3 Nd2 Nf6 same idea less sharp. -3 e5 same idea again, but easier to implement as black, I would use this variation as a starting point. -3 Others, get coffee and dont fall asleep, your opponent just gave up any chance of advantage

	If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.

	How do the French and Caro-Kann compare to 1...e5 in terms of solidity (if Black goes for the solid lines)? Is it actually possible to get a game similar to the QGD in style, i.e. a game where Black has both a sound pawn structure and reasonably safe king against a White player who wants to go for the sharp mainlines? Is a player who wants to play "safe" best served with the French (maybe the Rubinstein?), 1..e5 (Spanish or Russian?), or the Caro-Kann (which 4th move?)?
