Decades spent scrubbing walls left time on the side for serious study, and Kent has built a sharp, well-prepared repertoire across both colors. With White he steers games into the [Vienna Game](/resources/openings/vienna-game), where the f-pawn push pressures Black's center early. With Black he answers 1.e4 in the Italian complex, alternating between the [Giuoco Piano](/resources/openings/giuoco-piano) and the [Two Knights](/resources/openings/two-knights), and against 1.d4 he favors the hypermodern [King's Indian](/resources/openings/kings-indian).
