man, picking only one is hard...
i love the smith-morra, italian, and scotch games.
i guess as of right now my vote is the italian game.
Favorite open king's pawn game.
Sort:
Italian hands down.
my first go-around with 1.e4 I played the lopez, but now the mainlines dont fit my style. I like the Italian now.
and as for the danish, I think the 1.e4 e5 2.d4 exd4 3.c3 dxc3 4.Nxc3 version is much better. the OP variation is exciting, but down 2 pawns is usually too steep
Italian for me too.
In Danish Gambit,what happens if black tries to protect the advanced pawn?
If instead of 4..cxb2 black plays 4..Qc6,whatshld white play?
kings gambit is most fun, but a personal favorite of mine is the giucco piano though i dont play it much
Ponziani Opening ftw!
Yeah, you left out a lot of options - Ponziani, Vienna, Vienna Gambit, Scotch Gambit, Goring Gambit, Three/Four Knights Game, and variations by black like the Petroff or Latvian.
Right now, I tend to play the Italian, but I've been thinking of switching back to the Scotch or Vienna.

doesnt look like the queen can get to c6, did you mean f6? if so then 5.Nxc3 should win easily for white

4...Qc6 isn't a legal move. If you mean 4...Qf6, white probably plays Nxc3 which is more like the Goring Gambit iirc.
The danish gambit,
The scotch game,
the italian game,
the most heavily used ruy lopez,
