I just want to know. What openings do you play? I play bishop pawn, then move my king there, then knight pawn and move my king there too. Then, I push my rook pawn.

that's the main one but if you know people are doing that you can surprise them with king pawn bishop check, or the jerry special of knight pawn bishop there king over, or the yak special of knight pawn, bishop to the edge, then king over

main now is actually bishop pawn, king over, knight pawn, then fianchetto the bishop. If your opp does this too, bishops are easily traded, and rooks/knights are always the easiest to trade. I like to keep a mental database of which opposites will fianchetto. hopefully one day everyone will.

you can also start with knights pawn and do a quick fianchetto, then transpose. or, as kayak said, do jerry special and bring out knight (to the square the bishops pawn normally goes) then move it to the square 2 in front of the rooks pawn, and the knight will likely trade for a bishop

other openings are subpar, please please please do not do the luke special pushing kings pawn and bringing out bishop to snipe king on dirty premove.

1. good players will never fall for the trick, and you waste 3-4 moves on the bishop.

2. if you capture the king, your cross and your right will have started trading, and you will have no one to trade with, and you will get third because you wanted to be toxic and make your left last. The 3 points from the king capture is pretty insignificant.

so don't push the kings pawn, ever, especially since it prevents your right from effectively trading with you.

so the only viable options are bishops pawn or knights pawn. If you frequently play anything else, you will never make it above 2100.

recently i have been favoring bishop pawn then knight pawn then king forward in front of bishop then bishop fianchetto. as long as you watch out for cheepos from your right. you should be fine. It can allow early trades with every other player, and keeps your bishop from being trapped.

I think that bishop pawn king there and then knight pawn and king there is the best opening as long as you make sure that the color to the right cannot capture your king

If both red and yellow open with king's pawn, they can make life hard for green.

green can still push his own king pawn and move his king up to save himself; most ry will not team like this

My opening is bishop pawn, move my king there, then knight pawn and move my bishop there, then move the bishop pawn again, to potentially open bishop trade with opposite opponent. This strategy is very good if you ask me.

i feel like this can be risky cause of cheepos from your right. Although if your right doesnt do anything about it then, i feel that this is one of the best openings there is.
