I need a good opening for white. (intermediate level)


At 843, I’ll recommend the Scotch. Easy to learn, solid, effective, and will get you to very good positions early on if you know what you’re doing

There’s a lesson on the Scotch on chess.com Lessons btw

You know what is easier? The Jobava London. Little to know theory, super deadly, gained me 200 elo points
The New London System? - Chess.com

The Scotch is okay and it’s clearly better than the Ruy that you’ve been suggesting earlier, but the best e4 opening is the Vienna Gambit.
Black is lost.

The Ruy Lopez is the absolute best, king of e4 e5.
Scotch and Italian are also good.
Vienna is meh, very mediocre and nothing special.

The Jobava is simply so aggressive and sound at the same time. You play the same London set up, but you have a knight on c3. It may not seem like much, but you can have very quick knock outs with it. ex: Epic game

Jobava London is better

Sampson stop trolling

the vienna,scotch, and italian give easy equality
if you want to challenge them play an agressive gambit or play the ruy lopez

If you don't like the jobava, then try the Richter-veresov attack. You have a simple plan of playing e4, castling long, and going for an attack with your massive center.
