Favorite openings

Hi guys I’ve been making a lot of forums I wanted to know what is your favorite opening

and for all y’all scholars mate people uuuuuh bug off

my favorite is the queens gambit I destroy people if they accept

Vienna Gambit

60% win rate at my level

vienna gambit as white if they play e5, ..Nf6

grand prix if they play c5 after e4

Max Euwe attack if they play c6

I like Vienna as white. As black I like the Sicilian

Same as black

If you look at my games via Explorer, it seems that I’m quite fond of the Greco Attack.

My favorites are: Kings Gambit, Réti, Sicilian Dragon, and Scandinavian.

I think you played a worse line. Better response to 2... dxc4 is 3, e3. Not e4.

If you play e4, black has a great move e5. Then you can't bxc4 take back the pawn, because black has Qxd4 to win a pawn and control the center.

If you don't take the pawn back, your gambit will make no sense. For example, if you play nf3, black will exd5 and you'll be two pawns down. You can now bxc4 take back a pawn, but after black nc6 you have no positional advantage and is still one pawn down.

That's why you should play e3 instead of e4, because black will no longer have the counter attack of e5. More, e3 will leave the white diagonal line open for white Queen. So if black fall into the trap, black will lose material immediately, as this:

I hope this helps.

Nobody does that line nowadays though

nobody plays any correct lines normally there are two other lines that are played against me normally

Or

You push the pawn after they play e5

Or your just selling a pawn

you can't play chess gambling that your opponent will not play the best moves.

If you will ever advance to 1400+ level, you'll find suddenly everybody is playing the correct line, and you'll be doomed.

The second one you sent is helpful though

if you push your d-pawn after black e5, black will nf6 to attack your e-pawn

I've been enjoying the Alekhines defense lately.

Vienna and center game as white destroyes people. As black I just cry.

learn the pircs czech defence

Please don't. Czech defense is so annoying. JK, do whatever you want

I like Italian as white and classical kings' pawn as white.

Hmm. I’ve been playing Queens Gambit for a while now and play e4 against the accepted. To be fair it is technically a gambit, so if you end up down a pawn with extra development that isn’t unusual at all. I don’t love moves like e3 or e6 that block out my bishop in general, but should I start playing the e3 line instead?

I'm not up on the latest theory of the Q's Gambit, but I think 1 d4 d5 2 c4 dc4 3 e4 is still playable. As noted above, it generally is a true gambit line. I doubt that it is the best try for a theoretical edge in the opening, but I don't think it has been refuted.
