best opening for beginner

What are the best openings for beginners? for both: white a black. I want some openings and defenses easy to remember and which give good chances at middle games again beginner players

The spanish, scottish or italian four Knights served me very well at the beginning. They are easy to learn and don't have a lot of theory. Very good openings to begin with. If you know some subtelties you have an advantage over your opponent.

For example knowing when to play h6 followed by g5 when Whites bishop pins your knight on f6 and vice versa.

There also some really High Level games like Anand-Mamedyarov.

check my forum post..titled opening for white ...its easy to understand and u win 80% of yo games...tel me how it works for u

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

I believe that it is possible to see a fair portion of the beginning of Tamburro's book by going to the Mongoose Press site.

Perhaps Jecnez would also want to consider Discovering Chess Openings by GM John Emms (2006).
"... For beginning players, [Discovering Chess Openings] will offer an opportunity to start out on the right foot and really get a feel for what is happening on the board. ..." - FM Carsten Hansen (2006)

"There is no such thing as a 'best opening.' Each player should choose an opening that attracts him. Some players are looking for a gambit as White, others for Black gambits. Many players that are starting out (or have bad memories) want to avoid mainstream systems, others want dynamic openings, and others want calm positional pathways. It’s all about personal taste and personal need.
For example, if you feel you’re poor at tactics you can choose a quiet positional opening (trying to hide from your weakness and just play chess), or seek more dynamic openings that engender lots of tactics and sacrifices (this might lead to more losses but, over time, will improve your tactical skills and make you stronger)." - IM Jeremy Silman (January 28, 2016)

"... Overall, I would advise most players to stick to a fairly limited range of openings, and not to worry about learning too much by heart. ..." - FM Steve Giddins (2008)
"... Once you identify an opening you really like and wish to learn in more depth, then should you pick up a book on a particular opening or variation. Start with ones that explain the opening variations and are not just meant for advanced players. ..." - Dan Heisman (2001)

"... To begin with, only study the main lines ... you can easily fill in the unusual lines later. ..." - GM John Nunn (2006)
"... I feel that the main reasons to buy an opening book are to give a good overview of the opening, and to explain general plans and ideas. ..." - GM John Nunn (2006)
"... If the book contains illustrative games, it is worth playing these over first ..." - GM John Nunn (2006)
"... the average player only needs to know a limited amount about the openings he plays. Providing he understands the main aims of the opening, a few typical plans and a handful of basic variations, that is enough. ..." - FM Steve Giddins (2008)
"... For inexperienced players, I think the model that bases opening discussions on more or less complete games that are fully annotated, though with a main focus on the opening and early middlegame, is the ideal. ..." - FM Carsten Hansen (2010)
"... Everyman Chess has started a new series aimed at those who want to understand the basics of an opening, i.e., the not-yet-so-strong players. ... I imagine [there] will be a long series based on the premise of bringing the basic ideas of an opening to the reader through plenty of introductory text, game annotations, hints, plans and much more. ..." - FM Carsten Hansen (2002)

"The way I suggest you study this book is to play through the main games once, relatively quickly, and then start playing the variation in actual games. Playing an opening in real games is of vital importance - without this kind of live practice it is impossible to get a 'feel' for the kind of game it leads to. There is time enough later for involvement with the details, after playing your games it is good to look up the line." - GM Nigel Davies (2005)

"... Review each of your games, identifying opening (and other) mistakes with the goal of not repeatedly making the same mistake. ... It is especially critical not to continually fall into opening traps – or even lines that result in difficult positions ..." - NM Dan Heisman (2007)

Deirdreskye...explain why u label it as nonsense?why would he forget what he is learnt..like i said it works for me..

BEST OPENING FOR BEGINNER CHECK OUThttps://youtu.be/I7oxBA_QFEw

The Colle as white.  Easy to remember, teaches you how to use your pieces in combination and gives you a plan and objectives for the middle game so you learn what a middle game plan looks like. 

 

For black the French against e4.  Though expect to be mostly playing transpositions into the exchange variation.  But at least you got equality to start.   If you liked the Colle there is a something very similar called the Slav against d4.  The Slav is also playable as White (the London) so you will get a nice complement of with or without the queen bishop dominating the game.    

Opening Principles:

1. Control the center squares – d4-e4-d5-e5

2. Develop your minor pieces toward the center – piece activity is the key

3. Castle

4. Connect your rooks

Tactics...tactics...tactics...

 

Pre Move Checklist:

1. Make sure all your pieces are safe. 

2. Look for forcing move: Checks, captures, threats. You want to look at ALL forcing moves (even the bad ones) this will force you look at, and see the entire board. 

3. If there are no forcing moves, you then want to remove any of your opponent’s pieces from your side of the board. 

4. If your opponent doesn’t have any of his pieces on your side of the board, then you want to improve the position of your least active piece. 

5. After each move by your opponent, ask yourself: "What is my opponent trying to do?"

i think the italian game (as a goal for your white game) and learn as you go especially when black avoids it

i play 1. e4 ...e5 as black winging it as we go

i also learned some basic setups in the slav to reply to white’s 1. d4- if white goes into queen’s gambit then great- the slav defense

if white doesnt go queens gambit the practice work in the slav helps with some basic principles in d pawn openings

learning some real basic lines here really helped me in my time management in live games and now (1 year after starting opening “study”) i am finding myself getting into more and more middlegames and endgames

in other words, it feels like i am playing chess now

just my $.02

There is no opening that will win you 80% of your games.

Anyway, I personally like the English Opening: 1. c4. Not many beginners are very prepared for it.

 

 

Weird

Weird how people hate on an opening they dont know...ok guys how about an open challenge.anyone to play me using my proposed opening 

The op is not losing games because of the opening, but because of a failure to recognise opponents threats.

 

in the third game robbie id say that white has done a good opening , all pieces in game not too many pawn moves either to develop from , so op i would say other than robbies tactical points he has shown then whatever opening you played to get to this point is one i think you should grow more used to , and perhaps defend c2 more , as to not take the knight means the queen had to go to f1 and that allows knxc2 , with a poss d2 en prise if a bxh2 sac is played but preventing that id just put a rook on e2 i guess

yes OP is not losing many games because of the opening, he should work on something else in the meantime I would think.  Its kind of like polishing the wheels on your car when the engine has a dodgy crankshaft and expecting everything will get better.

yes third game white is in a pickle i think whatever he does, he actually won that game.

Is there a place where Jecnez said something about everything getting better?

I don't think pedantry is going to help much here Spongebobs
