The English doesn't stop the King's indian at all. The King's Indian is actually a decent choice against the English.
Openings for 600 elo
Sort:
The English can also often transposes into d4 openings when black doesn’t play e5 or c5. Even so I think there is an opportunity to transpose into Tarrasch va c5.
stick to Italian or go scotch Italian is prob best option tho

Is Sicilian good for 600?
It's very complicated to learn, but it can be very good.

Hi! I would recommend that you keep playing 1. e4. (Italian Game is fine)
For suggestions on a full repertoire for your level, you could check out my posts on my blog:

Good luck!

Italian Game (+Fried Liver), Four Knights, London System
Everyone recommends the Fried Liver. It completely goes against opening principles. Playing d3 and developing naturally is the best plan in the Two Knights Defense for the Italian. The Fried Liver isn’t necessarily bad- it’s just that it relies too much on tactics and usually unnatural moves instead of encouraging opening principles.

Positions that lead to Open “Tactical” play.
Scotch Gambit is a fun one for white. Very trappy with the ability to really blow your opponent off the board.
For black, e5 against e4 & d5 against d4

If you’re going to play the Knight Attack against the Two Knights Defense, the Lolli is probably better for beginners than the Fried Liver, since white can have some trouble proving their advantage while down a knight for a pawn, and you can very easily lose the initiative

the veinna for sure it help me stay in 500 elo and works in 600 elo but if you want d4 well London too crapmt position queens gambit is goated it helped me get more elo ponits
At your level, the opening is irrelevant. I could give you a position at move 10 from a game by Carlsen and you would still play the rest of the game like a 600-rated player.
learn the basic opening principles, which apply to all openings. Learn basic endgame principles. Learn middlegame strategies. Stop playing blitz and rapid. Analyze your losses and stop repeating the same basics.
spend time with books/videos that teach you how to be a better chess player. That will pay off much more than switching to a new opening.

Opening is relevant for a beginner insofar as it will give them exposure to certain ideas about chess. The goal while learning shouldn't always be to win as many games as quickly as possible.
The italian is a tactical opening, the queens gambit is a positional one. I like the idea of a beginner getting exposed to both styles of play... I actually like the fact he's playing the italian / queens gambit and would say he should just stick with it.

The English has mountains of theory and has some unintuitive moves a 600 shouldn’t suffer through
a 600 should be playing like this
Following basic opening principles
