Sharp openings
Sort:
I'm guessing you don't want to be spending hours studying and preparing openings, so I would reccomend:
As white:
Against 1. e4 c5 playing 2. d4 cxd4 3. c3 (Smith-Morra Gambit)
And against 1.e4 e5 I reccomend the Scotch Gambit, an old favourite of mine which brought many hours of joy. It goes: 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4 exd4 4. Bc4
Of course, as with every opening, a small amount of study will be necessary for each of these.
Hopefully I was able to help, good luck.
Sharpest? Try "King's Gambit". 1.e4 e5 2.f4 exf4(accepted) or Bc5(declined)
In my opinion, White is usually inviting Black to attack on kingside. If black accepts the gambited pawn, White obtains some sharp attacking lines.

There's actually a Quadruple Muzio Gambit. Extraordinarily complex (for GM's only - just a word of warning). The director left that part out....where Hannibal played it against Jody Foster at his cellblock ? They used dialogue instead.

There is? Please tell the opening moves.
