I base all of my openings on attacking chances, so I'd suggest most of the openings I play:
WHITE (1.e4) - King's Gambit against 1...e5 and Sicilian Grand Prix Attack against 1...c5 (with 2.Nc3 and 3.f4). Also the Reti Gambit against the French (1...e6 2.b3).
BLACK - The Schliemann Defense against the Ruy Lopez and the Two Knights Defense (Traxler Variation) against the Italian Game. Against d4, I suggest the Albin Counter Gambit or the Semi-Slav if you're not turned off by theory.
wow ty, im certainly gonna look into the kings gambit, i had decided that even before u said it and i know quite a few lines of the traxler :D
Any other ideas?
It depends on your style. Personally I like to create pawn storms so I go for usually slower openings.
If you like open games
You have the italian game Bc4.
As black the sicilian
agains't the english gambit I usually play the Albin countergambit d4-d5 c4-e5 Its quite effective after you know the basics.
a gambit I play as white is:
There is:
Omega Gambit 1.d4 Nf6 2.e4
Gibbins-Weidenhagen Gambit 1.d4 Nf6 2.g4
Smith Morra Gambit 1.e4 c5 2.d4 cxd4 3.c3
Halasz Gambit 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.f4
Halasz Gambit Sicilian Variation 1.e4 c5 2.d4 cxd4 3.Bd3 and next move f4
Orthoschnapp Gambit 1.e4 e6 2.c4 d5 3.cxd5 exd5 4.Qb3 and if 4...dxe4
then white has 5.Bc4 attacking the pawn at f7
Diemer Duhm Gambit 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.c4 and if 3...dxe4 4.Nc3 and a
later move 5.f3
Ulysses Gambit 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nf3 sacrificing the e pawn and if 3...dxd4
white can play either 4.Ne5 of 4.Ng5
Perseus Gambit 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 3.Nf3 sacrificing the e pawn
Medusa Gambit 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g5
Omega Osiris Gambit 1.d4 d5 2.Nf3 e5
There is a lot more. See my chessville column called "The Search for Dragons
and Mythical Chess Openings" where I explore strange new exotic chess openings.
Mostly gambits.

Hey, just want some opinions of the best attacking openings for black and white(2 for black, one for e4 and the other for d4). I quite like the urusov gambit but its quite hard to get into so any ideas?
