Which opening is good for you?

Choosing the right opening-Openings affects the style of play, so the right opening helps in middlegame planning.

For beginners- Beginners don't need a lot of theory in openings to get confused so they should try-

1. Fried Liver Attack(White)- It comes after 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bc4 Nf6 4 Ng5 d5 5. exd5 nxd5 6. Nxf7 This opening has a trap where you go 6. (Black move) Kxf7 7.Qf3 forking king and knight which is already attacked getting interest back. You can also practice on chess.com and use YouTube for traps in his. I will not tell moves for all opening.

2. Latvian Gambit(Black)- Saccing the f pawn and then pushing d pawn to squares getting the centre and the pawn back.

For intermediates- They need to dive in little bit theory so they should play-

1. London system(For white)- I know, very popular, but it has more theory than you think. Black has many responses and be aware. Middlegame is very simple so it is good.

2. King's Indian defense(For Black)- Theory but less. Perfect. A safe, solid set up that can be played against everything.

For advanced- They need to go full into theory so-

1. For White- Queen's gambit, Catalan and English Opening-  These are strategic opening with the first 2 having great theory but easy middlegame and the third one has almost no theory and has the best middlegame in the world if you don't mess up the moves and see hat your opponent is doing.

2. For black- Sicilian najdorf,  Sicilian dragon and King's Indian Defense- You know what, just play the Sicilian if e4 and king's Indian defense for d4. Just study the king's Indian defense more than intermediate.

For sharps players

White- Trompowsky attack

Black- Sicilian defense

Overall-

White- Queen's Gambit

Black- Sicilian defense
