need help with openings

IMO you're not really going to get an opening as aggressive as the Italian, as the Bishop is already pressuring the weak f7 square on move 3

but i almost always have to go through an endgame i am to lazy i guess i will just stick to  it then

Scotch is definitely not a quick knockout. Mieses variation is just a berlin-esque endgame + You're trading on move 3. It's arguably the most balanced of e4 openings

thx 

I agree while the Giucco piano is a very positional opening you can get some pretty agressive attacks

As I stated earlier, there's a stark difference between the tactical and positional variations of the Italian

Here's a positional example with black playing in Philidor style

And here's a more open one

what would u classify this as

\

Open because like in the Open Italian, you're probably sacrificing the e pawn for initiative

ok thx i will learn open italian in depth 

Qe5 was played in the diagram 🤣

Italian: Open, Blunder variation

Actually it’s the Botez variation smh

misclick look at the second variation

I know but, it's still pretty funny lol

hmmm... I've been thinking about playing the Benoni and/or Slav. Any thoughts? (I basically exclusively play the Grunfeld rn lol)

If you're good in positional/closed position with limited pawn breaks. Grunfeld is very open in nature

okay, do you recommend using chess.com's master database to review openings?

you could but it doesn't really offer any insight as to what kind of games you'll get from the opening

oh okay

Ruy Lopez imo is not a good opening for begginer-intermidiate players. It has a lot of theory and it’s very strategical.
