btw if you have opening questions you don't have to make a thread on it you can just ask a question in the Opening Theory megathread

For white probably the London System for black against 1.e4 probably the Scandinavian Defense. Against 1.d4 I honestly don't know

The Nimzo has so much theory lol. Also the Frankenstein-Dracula in the Vienna? That’s also some crazy theory as well.

No idea what that line is but I still win with the Vienna... Never learned Nimzo Indian theory either...

Personal preference really, try various openings and see which ones you like the most. If you want easy, the London as white I guess. For black there really is no "easy" opening.

Really? I learned the Benoni after watching a 40 minute video and taking away d4 c5... (I learned stuff later) I still use it and probably have over a 60% winrate...
