As a fellow coward, I have enjoyed considerable success with White playing the Catalan and various lines from Khalifman's Kramnik series.  For Black, you could do worse than Khalifman's Karpov book (Caro, Nimzo, QID).  Instead of the QID, though, I have been playing the Semi-Tarrasch as Black.  I'll be the first to concede that it doesn't yield the second player many winning chances, but I have yet to lose with it either...

Hi friends, I love playing chess and my results over the board are very good. BUT i do not like taking risks!. I think I am in the company of Petrosian, Capablanca and Karpov Wink. Please help me to build a no risk repertory. What to answer to 1.e4, 1,d4 and what to play with white... 1.e4 or 1.d4 and what lines. But nothing like 1.Nf3 2.g3 3.Bg2 I want real theoretical lines lines. I know it is long but please gve me a hand.!! A friend from Venezuela  Wink
