Hmm difficult question!.
First you should decide your style. Do you like attacking openings, or positional openings?
Then, choose an opening, and Stick With It For Six Months Or More.
If you like positional openings, try the slav, queen's gambit declined. If you like attacking openings, try the King's Indian.
Hope this helps.
PS. King's Indian just takes a bit of learning, not really that hard.
Hello chess community. I'm beginner player , my rating is about 1100. I have serious question about openings . With white pieces I play london system ,and I like it . I got 60% win rate with it . If I play black , and face E4 I play french defense . Its my first opening I found when started chess and face E4 and I really like it , I know the main ideas , and feel really comfortable with that opening .
But the main problem is D4. At first I tried to play normal d5 and transform to QGD ,but don't find any success with it . Then I watch some videos about king's indian defense . Ok I thought this opening is modern ,I know its hard ,but if I get good at it I can play it for the rest of my life . But the problem its really sharp , I just get lost in position very quickly, also positions are very cramped .
So now my main question. Should I keep trying differents openings ,till I found ''this one is really for me'' Or just don't distract my self ,and keep for example kings indian defense.?
Looking for stronger players advices , maybe somebody can recommend openings that are beginners friendly (but don't want to play for tricks ) want a solid ones . Thank you !
