Hi! In the past year, I've started getting into chess more seriously and would like to find good openings to learn and add to my repertoire. Right now I've started to learn the mainlines of the Scandinavian Defense and London System, and I have touched the Queen's Gambit in the past.

White: Vienna Game (helped me increase my rating from 1300 to 1900+) and Scotch Game

Black: Sicilian Dragon (specifically the Accelerated Dragon for me; it helped me beat strong players and is very fun to play for positional players)

However, in order to find the right opening, you need to find your chess style/personality. You can do that on chesspersonality.com or chessiverse.com.

Vienna because it has some aggressive lines and less common on higher level and will be deadly if you study and master the lines
