Hi 👋 I’m a beginner and I would like to learn openings. There’s tons of openings videos in chess.com I’m not sure where to start. What openings should I start with? What are the best openings to accelerate my knowledge and what recommendations would you suggest when learning openings? ♟️

I'd suggest starting with something that has the word ''ideas'' in its title. It's useful to understand the ideas behind a bunch of openings.

These are enough openings until you manage avoiding major blunders, and taking advantage of your opponent's ones.
