Aggressive Openings against 1. e4?
Sort:
Do you know this? e4/e5; kf3/kc6; bc4/kf6; kg5/KXE4(!). If kxe4/d5(!) fork k/b. If kxf7/qh4; g3/kxg3(!); fxg3;qe4+(!) fork rook.. take a look and tell me what you think about it

Black loses after 5.Bxf7+ Ke7 6.d4.
4...Nxe4 deserves a double question mark.

I don't know if it's been mentioned but you can always try to get the Blackburne Schilling Gambit in if you use the variation with the knight on f6 like this
, or the fishing pole trap (much weaker but fun)
Impressive 👍

Alekhine but you gotta know your theory. I switched from Sicilian and love it.
Imo, it's not aggresive, tend to be defensive before trying to counter. I also find white's pawn at e5 is annoying. I have used it during the early days of playing online here, but never used since then.

The Rousseau gambit is great, basically a reversed Vienna.
Yeah I still play the Rousseau on occassion, because if they don't decline with d4, Black's position is absolutely fantastic after d5 with tempo on the bishop and Bxf5, after which you're up a tempo and a center pawn for a flank pawn with an open f-file for the rook after castling short.

4.d3 is equaly good to 4.d4, and Black's position is a four letter word- and no, it is not "love".

Alekhine is terrible in blitz under 1800 cos of:
And so forth.. RA3 line legit wins so much..

Bg7 looks like a minor inaccuracy here, but as White, what are you threatening? Can't Black just ignore you, put pawns in the center, and trade the h-file rooks with better development and prospects?
I think it all depends on what level you're on.

Check out the Latvian Gambit if you want something aggressive against king's knight. It's pretty fun to play, even if it is a bit gimmicky.
