Aggressive openings

I’ve been playing the same openings when possible (Ruy Lopez and Sicilian Dragon as white).   I enjoy playing very aggressive openings.  Can anybody recommend an aggressive opening that is sound?

To be honest...on your level nearly every opening is sound.

On lower club level you can play any unsound opening, mostly it works, when you are familiar to the main lines, the middlegame ideas and the traps, cause your opponents will rarely know the best defences...

I rarely saw games on this level, which were decided by a pawn more or less :D

So if you wanna play very aggressive try the Latvian Gambit, the sidelines of the Englund and the Blackmar-Diemer.

It will also improve your tactical skills...

For someone seeking help with openings, I usually bring up Openings for Amateurs by Pete Tamburro (2014).

How are you playing the dragon as white?

Black rely dictates that we play the dragon, but I noticed that a lot of people playing black enjoy this line.  So, I learned how to play white in this scenario.

Correct, black plays the dragon not white

Thank you.  I will check this book out.

For discussion of more opening possibilities, you might try Back to Basics: Openings by FM Carsten Hansen (2010).

Of the recent general books about openings, perhaps the talkiest is Fundamental Chess Openings by Paul van der Sterren (2009). It is pretty long, though.

lately I've been trying the Evans Gambit in a few games (playing white). 
if the opponent isn't prepared for this one, he might get totally overrun in just a few moves :) 

For black I like the Albins Counter Gambit (not sound on GM level, but lots of fun)

Against 1.d4, play 1...f5 (or 1...e6 then 2...f5 if you want to avoid some of white's anti-Dutch systems, but be ready to play the French defense if white plays 2.e4). The Dutch defense is sound enough for Carlsen and Nakamura to play occasionally.

Goring Gambit.

KG

What @Dark_Falcon said.  I'd learn a couple gambits that work well with your current opening repetoirs, and learn them VERY well.  That'll give you some quick edge with each move.

With perfect play some gambits are less sound than others, but no one at you level is going to be playing perfectly in these offshoot gambit lines.

(Also, this advice has mostly the Goring gambit in mind)

First of all, the OP should avoid one-move-blunder of pieces...then he should start practice openings deeply...

Very aggressive doesnt mean to give material away for nothing.

If only I could avoid blunders.

I agree about playing something that the opponent is not prepared for.  When I play OTB and I notice that the opponent is making the moves fairly quickly, then I will go out of book.  It might not be the most sound moves, but most opponent that memorized the line won't be able to play chess by fundamentals only.

Often its a matter of concentration and focusing on the board, sometimes it has other reasons.

In your stage of learning you should focus on tactics and middlegame and not spending too much time in studying opening books till move 20 including sidelines.

The openings are either sound, or unsound. It's the players which are aggressive, or defensive.

See what (say) Misha Tal, a tactical genius, was employing: His whole opening repertoire was purely sound openings, no dubious gambits at all in it. Tactical, sacrificial play came later on, when the conditions were ripe, and the position was not already destroyed by stupid gambit opening adventures.

I'm not an expert in the game but imho all this aggressive opening divided in two types

1. Correct (I believe KG, Evans or Schlieman defense in Rui Lopez is correct). If this openings suite your style well you can wait an advantage achieved by "legal way"

2. Incorrect (Blackmar-Diemer, Englund...)- use it on your own risk if you want to blow a pethard

And I think the best way to study 'aggressive' opening is to play through masters games, some of this contains a lot of fun
