    I believe those are traps of the ¨Bishops opening¨ The one when you take out the queen is called the ¨Elephant gambit¨.

    This is the opening I've seen much when I was 8-9 years old. It is very easy to defense, when you dont play Bc5 but Nc6 your queen cant take at e5 for example. When black defenses correctly, black had a big advantage. But there will be players who dont know this opening. But i guess most players with an 1000+ rating will defense this correctly

    The problem with moves like an early Qh5 is that if Black reacts correctly to your threat, the resulting position is usually fine for him since he can develop while chasing your queen around a bit.

    If you want to get better, you'll have to look for moves that work well against any move your opponent might make, not just moves that would work well in case your opponent makes a mistake, that's "Hope Chess". You need to play Real Chess.

    2.Bc4 is fine, but if Black plays something sensible like 2...Nf6 or 2...Nc6, developing the queen isn't something that comes to mind first.

    You are referring to "Scholar's Mate" or "wayward Queen attack" and nobody rated over 1000 will fall for it.  In general, bringing one's Queen out early is a big mistake.  Your opponent will attack your queen while developing her/his pieces and you'll be stuck moving your Queen all over.  By the beginning of the middle game, you'll be so far behind in development you'll almost certainly lose the game.

     

    There's a reason adult tournament players never use this opening; they certainly don't call it "good white opening."  Concentrate on developing your pieces rapidly and controlling the center.  Some good white openings with rapid development and early control of the center are Ruy Lopez and Queen's gambit, though there are many others.

    The Elephant gambit is a different opening entirely: 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 d5.
