Hey, how's it going? I wanted to know if anyone new some openings that really get into depth, something that will give me an exciting and strange middle game. I love complicated games. So if anyone has anything thats effective enough for the win, but still makes a fun game, let me know. =)

Fun to one person is not fun to another.  By complex do you mean tactically rich or strategically deep?  Most openings get into depth but most players don't.  Simple answer would be Ruy, QG, KID, Sicilian, etc.

 I want an opening that can be a little of both. One that is tactical and strategical at the same time. not sure if there are mean openings like that, but just want to make sure before i rule out my chances in finding one.

The opening that is perhaps the "deepest" is the Lopez for white and black and the theory on the Slav systems is become extensive and sharp as well. Lets not forget the najdorf the most analyzed of all the Sicilians !

If exciting and complicated games are what you want, you should try out the King's Indian Defense and Dragon/Accelerated Dragon/Hyperaccelerated Dragon Sicilians with black. All have similar pawn structures and strategic ideas while providing beautiful counter-attacking chances for black. With white, I suggest the Ruy Lopez. It is very complicated and a great deal of opening theory is available on it. Use the game explorer on this website to look for specific variations. It is very useful.

I really recommend you to read these books:

*Lev Alburt, Roman Dzindzichashvili, Eugene Perelshteyn - Chess Openings for White, Explained (1.e4)
*Lev Alburt, Roman Dzindzichashvili, Eugene Perelshteyn - Chess Openings for Black, Explained (against 1.e4, 1.d4 and 1.c4)

These books are very good for whom want to learn some openings and have an idea "how they work".
If you have something to ask send me PM.

I hope to helped you! :)

Enjoy.

I also like KGA (and KGD too), but White must play precisely because otherwise he'll get some problems with his king! :)

Depends on how much time u got!  A main line opening like the Ruy Lopez  involves a lot of indepth studying, where a system like the KIA involves less. However, with the main line openings there is a lot of flexability and oportunity and considered the best way to go.  Yet, "Systems" offer less due to the major roads to equality having been mapped out long ago by those in who are prepared.  Yet, I know many who play systems and study tatics like crazy in order to really unbalance the game. They do really well at the club level. (which is as far and indepth as most of us will go in the world of chess)
