I think Italian is better it develops peases fast

In fact, every sound opening leads eventually to a balanced position. That's what makes them SOUND openings. The main difference is whether White's initial opening advantage is neutralized by move 2 or by move 32.

Personally I tend to lose it by move 3 through blundering the queen.

9. h3 is the usual move, not 9. d4 (which invites 9. ... Bg4).

Here's a game from the 1978 New Brunswick (Canada) Provincial Championship R4.

I honestly think that the Ruy Lopez is better because you got like a great attack if you develop fine

Italian is more Positional I think

Isn't it obvious? Grand Master plat both the Italian Game and Ruy Lupez. No one has clue which is better.

ITALIAN! Many play Nf6, and you can play Ng5 to win material.

AngryPuffer

both the italian and ruy lopez have their closed and open lines. you are not limited to the closed ruy lopez lines as white and can always play with an early d4

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5!? a6 4. Ba4 b5! 5. Bb6 a5! 6. a3 a4! 7. Ba2 and the a2-bishop is very passive

1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5!? a6 4. Ba4 b5! 5. Bb6 a5! 6. a4 b6! and the c3 Knight has to move
