Post ur favorite openings here! I need help finding a good opening.

Ponziani is very fun

I like the London and Caro-Kann. I get comfortable and good positions most of the time. Those below 1200 don't know how to refute the opening correctly.

The Fried Liver Attack!

My favorite...imortal opening...this is the future opening

Hahaha

After Nd4, White is supposed to play c3.

You silly man!

King's Gambit

If Black has a brain, he won't allow it and play 5...Na5! with no advantage at all for White.

Asking us our favorite openings won't help you. No two minds think exactly alike. Some love blocked positions and play the French. Some love facing the big mobile center and will play the Alekhine and Grunfeld. Some prefer a static center and will play the exchange QGD.

Everyone is different. Just because my repertoire is currently the Trompowsky, Levitsky, Petroff, Deferred Dutch, and French doesn't mean they are the answer for you.

the fried liver attack is a gambit and shouldn't be used as an opening

i like english, london, and sometimes catalan for white. for black i play carokann and kings indian

I play the italian as white, and really enjoy the positions that I end up in. Idea after e4,e5,Nf3,Nc6,Bc4,Bc5, you play c3. Nf6 (attacking e4), d3(defending e4). From there, there's nothing you really need to memorize. Castle, bring your knight. When your opponent plays d6, drop your bishop back to b3 and if they develop be6, play bc2 so you can use it later. One thing that is crucial to remember is that you need to bring your knight to g3. Do this by moving Nd2, Re1, Nf1, Ng3. From there, attack the kingside, build a strong center with d4, or attack the queenside as you see fit.

If you're below 1600, systems are always a good way to go, like King's indian for black/white, so you don't need to memorize a bunch of theory. After a while though you may begin to despise the system because you have played it so many times that you're bored out of your mind, then hate anyone who plays it against you... It is better to focus on understanding the reasoning behind the moves rather than the moves themselves because even at the 1800 level you can just play random garbage and people won't know the theory behind it so you get a perfectly fine game. General knowledge (such as knowing when to take/not to take, letting the opponent improve their pieces vs them letting you improve) of what to do in the opening is more important than learning the 20 move variation of a side-side-side-line.

you don't need to memorize a bunch of theory in any opening, not just system openings

there's some openings

naidorf

italian with c3 d4 instead of c3 d3

idk what that's called

some others

It really depends on the type of hand you get. Usually it is good to have high cards, pairs, or suited cards. Numbers close to each other are better than ones far apart due to the possibility of a straight.

Ok but seriously there are a lot of simple openings that lead to a variety of positions. As Black I would recommend sticking to the Caro, French and 1...e5 against e4, and 1...d5 against 1.d4, though other approaches are also completely fine. As White play aggressive e4 openings to gain experience attacking and playing with initiative - gambits are ideal for this. Whatever you choose, good luck.
