Believe Me, Your Opponent Won't Survive This!
Want to take revenge on an opponent who never seems to lose?
Try these openings on them and you'll be the guy who never seems to lose!
Let's get going then!
1.The Evan's Gambit White side opening
Here it is, at the top of my list, one of the sharpest openings you can ever play,'The Evan's Gambit'.This opening was played many times at grand master level before, and it has created wonders in the world of chess. Check out one of the worlds most famous games played with this opening, 'The Evergreen Game'.
This gambit occurs in the very common guico piano game.
It occurs after the following moves:

2.The Blackburne-Shilling Gambit Black side opening
The Blackburne Shilling Gambit is rather than an opening, an opening trap.
Let's take a look!
The doubled pawn may get into trouble if not defended quickly.
3.The Kieninger Trap Black side
This Trap comes in the Budapest defense.Lets take a look on how to get to the Budapest defense.
Black offers the e5 pawn for black. If black declines just exchange the pawn and develop as usual.If he hits,play Ng4.
If he doesn't defend the pawn, you get the pawn back and the same usual game. If he defends the pawn with f4, he's just weakening his kingside for you to attack. if he defends with a piece, let's take a look at that:
Note: Here white moves the knight to d2 and not c3 because if white moves the knight to c3 we can hit the knight and create a weak doubled pawn.
4.The Danish Gambit White side
This is one of my favourite openings in chess. I have played this opening at zonal level and have won majority of my games with this opening.
Here is the opening:
White has two bishops firing towards blacks kingside, an open file for the queen, pressure on the f7 square and lot of potential!
Beginners may find this tough to play, so I recommend you to be at least 1200 rated in blitz or rapid to try this opening.

Okay then, on to the next opening!
5.The King's Gambit
The King's Gambit's also a nice aggressive opening for white.
Take a look:
If black denies the gambit, DON'T TAKE THE E PAWN!!!
Let's take a look at what happened to some greedy chess players who didn't pay enough attention in class:
And that's exactly how disaster could strike.
In this gambit you develop and castle as soon as possible.
(You're not safe until you castle in gambits)
And you get an open file for your rook,an extra center pawn,black will have to struggle to keep that extra pawn if he/she doesn't play correctly.

6.The Englund Gambit Black side
I discovered this gambit just as I was writing this blog. This is a very dubious yet aggressive opening.
Here is the opening:
Careless, huh? Or Downright aggressive? Check out what could happen if you are not careful enough with this gambit:
Wow this opening really fits in this list!
7.The Ruy Lopez Both white side and Black side
Ruy Lopez, a decent opening, But, it does have a few tricks you didn't know about:
The Fishing Pole Trap Black side
8.The Albin Counter Gambit Black side
Don't know how to play against the queen's pawn opening?
Then, this is the exact right thing you need!
The famous Lasker Trap also comes under this opening.
Wikipedia has an article on this opening:

9.Halosar Trap (Blackmar-Diemer Gambit)
Here's how it starts:
We play d4,d5 and we offer our e pawn by playing e4 and black takes it gleefully.
(don't worry, by the end of the game, you will be the one winning gleefully winning)
The rest is as follows:
@ChessTalkOfficial has posted a very nice, detailed video on this Ryder gambit or Halosar trap.
Here is the video:
10.The Center Game
Last but not the least, at the bottom of my list, 'The Center Game'.
The Center game is not as powerful as Evan's Gambit, but you could use it for a fast win. Here is an example how things can get completely out of hand:
We sacrifice the rook in order to get the knight pinned so we can gobble the queen.
Now, That's an epic Queen Trap!
Look out for these!
The Legal's mate White side
This Trap is not that common, but I've defeated 1300s with this trap. let's take a look at it at once!
Okay, I know you can't get to the exact position, but you can take it as a lesson to look out for every move! I used the same kind of tactic in one of my games:
Even if my opponent hit the knight, i would be 1 point up after I hit the bishop.
Moral of the story: "Never get too greedy".
I also have an interesting puzzle for you to solve!
