The Queen's Gambit and/or Ruy Lopez.

Maybe it's my fault, but I can't find a single game of you with the Danish Gambit. You seem to always open d4.

Well I've been playing d4 in unrated games to see how it goes. I might try out the London System since the Danish Gambit isn't working for me well.
That was fast. Within one day from "If you're bad at life, then don't live." to "I might try out the London System since the Danish Gambit isn't working for me well."
The London might help you to skip the opening and to postpone a fight, but it will not make you stronger player. If you want to grow as a player, you will have to learn how to use the initiative and time advantage. The Danish Gambit is just a great opening to learn that...

Well, it's just that I grasp the concepts of the Danish gambit and the opening ideas, maybe not completely but still. But I don't know when to attack, when to sacrifice, and my calculating abilities are not at all exceptional, maybe a little better or worse. It is tricky to play, and at higher ratings (if I get there) I'll have to ditch this opening probably.
Well, it takes practice and is one of the reasons why it is a great opening at lower intermediate level. Usually you don't have to sacrifice at all. You already have a huge advantage in development. Just build up the pressure by letting the other pieces join the attack. You have ideas like Qb3 or h4 and Ng5, or e5. The fact that you play lower rated players helps, they usually will blunder fairly soon. You did pretty well here and had a huge advantage after 10 moves: https://www.chess.com/live/game/6558603552?username=jackroach
You just missed to consolidate after you won a piece...
But of course it is up to you.

yeah, theres literally like nothing you can play lol
I’m still learning the game and find the Danish is a strong opening as long as they take the gambit. I feel my game falls apart when they decline. Have you found something that helps? Any suggestions

I used to use it but not anymore, instead I use the Itailian.
Comes with a fun little trap
but black is still winning here kind of

Declining is a smart choice if Black doesn't know the lines. Your game shouldn't fall apart though. You get an even position in this case and just continue playing...

Chess isn't an easy game. Sure there are gimmick openings, but when those fail then to continue improving you have to actually get better instead of relying on tricks.
So to answer your question: follow the opening principles, solve puzzles, study strategy and endgames, and play long time control games.

I love the Danish Gambit too. Gotham Chess on YouTube probably has the best video breakdown for the lines. To answer Daggy907, in my limited experience with the Danish, anytime they don't accept, take the pawn. If they don't take the first two pawns, take with the offered pawn. If they don't take the third pawn, maybe develop the king side knight to give them another chance, then take with the queen side knight and develop normally from there.
Here's a breakdown of the lines from Gotham's video that I created a while back.
If you or anyone wants to practice the Danish, I'd be happy to play as black against you in a daily. Just send me a challenge.
You are better off having a quality opening as your main opening, learning how to press small advantages and take advantage of good positions. If you want to play it as a minor opening for fun, sure.
Ok, what do you recommend then?
the sicilian or the french or something basic like that
Imo Sicilian is really bad for players around our rating because even if you know how to play it, 19 out of 20 people will play something stupid and it makes the game so weird and boring if that makes sense, but i like the french
yeah, i totally agree with you
like the bowdler attack for example is just so... weird i guess
Exactly, Bowdler attack lmao
I feel your pain. In the French they play the "knight variation," a lot, and they exchange.
Generally in the knight variation it just transposes into the advance or exchange variations with a different move order, sometimes the two knights variation, but the french exchange is boring
yeah lol
