London or Italian?

italian

Neither!

Italian food is way better hands down!

thats true

None Scotch gambit is best by test

Very apples versus oranges.

Italian: ancient with a long history of venerable games. It was historically a first tier opening with that status lasting until maybe a decade (or two) into the 20th century. Has seen a bit of a revival in recent decades.

London: originally an amateur opening designed just to get a game. Now is a GM opening designed just to get a game.

I like Italian opening

pizzaaaaa 🍕

It's a matter of personal preference. Both are good. Neither one would be a bad choice. Both openings can be played for the rest of your chess career.....and are played even at the highest levels...

Introduction to the Bishop's Opening...

https://www.chess.com/blog/RussBell/introduction-to-the-bishops-opening

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 f5 is called the Rousseau Gambit.

In the position you showed I would probably play 4. d3, with something similar to a King's Gambit Declined reversed.

Many players think their opponent plays stuff like 3...f5 and they should just be able to blow them off the board, but that's not how chess works. 3...f5 is a little dubious, but I don't think it's refuted.

I played d3, and my king got attacked and I got mated.

Can you post the game?

It was OTB blitz but I will try

Yeah I don't remember

After 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. c3 f5 I would definitely play 4. d4.

ITALIAN seems cooler but London is more annoying and that is why it is such a good opening - u annoy the heck out of your opponents with slow play.

So my choice is: Italondon
