Hello and welcome to my blog. In today's blog I will be showing you 6 best chess openings, 3 as white and 3 as black, now let's get started.

The first opening for white is the London system. The position of London system is given below:

This is the basic setup of the London system where your opponent's moves don't matter unless he plays something crazy. Now you will say that this opening is boring, I don't want to memorize moves and I want an attacking game so this is the opening for you.

The second opening is the most popular and commonly played opening by white which is the Italian game, also has many interesting variations like the Knight Attack, the Fried Liver Attack etc.

After this the most popular response from black is either Bc5 or Nf6, if Bc5 then I suggest you to play
c3 in order to prepare d4, and if Nf6 you can play Ng5 attacking the weak f7 square with your knight and bishop and also threatening to fork the queen and rook.
Now what if your opponent plays the Sicilian Defense then I would tell you to play the Closed Sicilian, which starts with the move Nc3. Black is mostly comfortable with Nf3 and d4 so Nc3 will be a new
thing for your opponent.
Now let's see the openings for Black. The opening I'm talking about is the King's Indian Defense. Your opponent plays d4 you play Nf6 now he can't e4 because of the knight so he plays c4 then g6, Nc3, Bg7 and the moment he plays e4 you can d6 you don't want him push e5 and attack the knight, after that, Nf3 then you play O-O.
Now if you want the center and want to play d5 after d4 then be ready for the Queen's Gambit (c4), in this position, don't accept the gambit, play something strong like e6 or c6. The opening continues and if you play correctly, you'll be in a fine position.
If you want some fast and sharp games you can play the Sicilian, the open Sicilian with the common moves and to keep it simple you can stick to the King's Indian setup which is called the Sicilian Dragon variation in this line.
That's it for today, I'll meet you in the next blog, till then bye bye. Also, share your suggestions in the comments below!
