Most Aggressive Systems

KIA is my favorite system. And I can assure you that the KIA is very playable against the French and e6-Sicilians.

I’m surprised that nobody has mentioned the Stonewall yet!

1. d4 d5 2. e3 Nf6 3. Bd3 c5 4. c3 Nc6 5. f4 (As White)

1. d4 d5 2. Nf3 f5 3. e3 e6 4. c4 c6 (As Black)

The stonewall is not aggressive, and for white it is not very good.

It also is not a system.

you can make e4 to a system if you want. And i see no big difference between systems and openings since you need to learn different variations .

1. e4 is not a system.  In fact, the only system you can try to play after 1. e4 is the KIA, but even there Black can squash it.

Systems are openings where you place your pieces on the same squares, in almost any order, without regard for what your opponent is doing (for the most part).  That is very different from normal openings where move order matters significantly.  You cannot play the Italian or Ruy Lopez on auto-pilot.  For the most part, you can play the London or KIA on auto-pilot until move ~10-15.

@PawnTsunami I always considered it to be a system, since you reach the same basic formation each time, mostly regardless of what Black plays (though the move order should change depending on what Black plays.)

Eh, you reach the same pawn formation, but in many lines, where your pieces go is very dependent on what Black plays.  This is very different from the other system openings (London, KIA, Colle, Torre) where the whole idea is to place your pieces on specific squares.  A pawn structure itself does not constitute a system.

i dont understand. When you say tha a system requires that every piece stand on the same place, and my system suggest that to it is a system.

But agree with you that beginners should play e4

In your setup:

If he wants to go from worse to almost losing, sure.

BEST IS LONDON SYSTEM STONEWALL ATTACK.

i don't see your winning move and even if i can postpone my bishop move and play first 3.Nc6

As I said earlier:  system openings can be played almost without regard to what Black plays for the first several moves.  Your idea to "just" fianchetto your dark square bishop, place your light square bishop on c4, and go, fails horribly to routine development by Black.  That is, Black is straight up winning out of the opening.

To OP: I’d choose Colle and Bird (Leningrad formation)

How about 3...Qe7, that might win something.

Falsch.

Trying to play that as a system leaves you getting crushed.

I wanted you to say for black. I had the poisoned pawn variation of the sicilian. Seems wild

Certainly open to recommendations for systems as black, too!

Early aggressive can often fail... Many top GM and CPU use conservative opening, develop pieces, then get aggressive. Even great attackers like Kasparov and pfren have to develop, then attack. Stuff like KID can be fabulous... but more attacks fail than succeed. Quiet opening, then attack.

Thats great advice. I love chess and want to be good -- But I also have a family and certainly dont have aspirations to go pro.  I certainly take it as a serious hobby, but don't want to spend hours upon hours learning theory just to keep a line even. I just want a fun, simple opening.  For me, i think that can be found in the KIA/ KID

If you want fun, KID gives crazy games... but it's one of the toughest defence to play at a serious level, because White has about a dozen strong responses. Kasparov said the KID was too much work... and switched to the Slav. But that's at very high level, of course. KI Attack I have played... but that's a strange, muddy opening.

To be fair, Kasparov said it was too much work keeping up with 2 highly theoretical openings (the Najdorf and the KID).  He had to give up one, and the KID drew the short straw.
