My (Yellow) opening at this game. You can also watch the game to see what to do after the opening

just keep all your pieces safe, don't get too aggressive and leave yourself with weaknesses

With Red or Blue I like to play more aggressively but still solidly (keeping my king in the center, pushing my center pawns)

With Yellow and Green I like to play more of a solid structure (moving knights, fianchettoing bishops, and castling)

Play this at top level and you'll get destroyed

Lol of course. But there is a long way to become a top level player. This is a good opening for <2100

A bit late here, but I think this advice is a good thing to keep in mind. IMO, getting good at FFA has less to do with openings and more to do with understanding give / take dynamics and those crucial tactics that swing the game. For this, I would suggest observing higher rated FFA games. And don't forget to learn teams tactics.
