Thats some good advice! Although, be careful not to set it up against the Accelerated dragon because you may be in for a surprise!

I play the French and I absolutely detest playing against the exchange variation.  It's the most boring game in history.

 Then you're not playing it right. The key for black is to make a point of NOT copying white's moves. Go for assymetric piece placement. Look on the web for how Alekhine played this opening. It can be fun if you know what you're doing.

I despise the scandinavian. Always throws me for some reason, probably something to do with the queen having control of the centre.

 Screw with your opponent's head by transposing to the Blackmar-Diemer Gambit. After 1. e4 d5, play 2. d4 dxe4 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. f3 exf3 5. Nxf3 and go from there.

 

Actually, I never had any real trouble playing against the Scandinavian, even before I started playing the BDG. Having the opportunity to bring out pieces while attacking the queen and forcing it to move just always seemed to make life easier for me.

I would love to play black in the first game. The second game, I think Black is kinda bi-polar. Is the focus the black squares/or the white squares?

I hate the Sicilian Closed variation.  The types of slow manuveuring games that always seem to result from it are extremely annoying to play.

I can't stand playing against the English; I lose every time; but each time I try to play it I lose anyway! Go figure.

And 1. e3 really annoys me for some reason.

There's an opening which starts 1.e4 e5, 2.Qf3...

I don't know what's the name of it, but whenever somebody tries it on me, I immediately start to feel uncomfortable. I tried playing 2. ...Qf6, and/or developing my g1 knight to protect a future light bishop on g7, to jeopardize the queen. Played many times, and always ended up in disadvantage...

I wonder whether it has a name. So, if you please, tell me what's the evil move's name, so I can read a little theory. I will take any advice too (going to use it as white, I guess, to see if I learn something).

Thanks in advance.

 Hey Fromper, thats the line i play against the Scandinavian. Also, 2.Nf3 is pretty cool. It can lead to a kind of reversed Budapest Gambit, although to be fair black can eqaulise or be evaluated as slightly better in this line. Still, cool for blitz.

I don't hate any openings because I already ACCEPTED the fact I can lose to any one of them.

 I play like crap.Cry

The entirety of my chess schooling consits of practice and working things out myself. I don't know the technical terms for the stuff I do, but I know how to do it. The opening that annoys me the most is 1. c5 2. e6. Every time I play against that one as white, I'm just thoroughly confused. I don't even know what it's called, since I never learned out of a chess book. Then black comes in and checkmates my butt out of thin air. If I could get the people I play face-to-face to use that opening, I'd be able to work on it more.

BUDAPEST DEFENCE!!!

I play this one myself and know how annoying it can be to move all of your pieces to your kingside only to not be mated like a kid! Yell
