What is your favorite opening/ gambit/ opening line as white or black?

What is your favorite opening as black or white? All of my openings are white openings because white is my favorite. 

1. Italian Game! - I like it because it's balanced and both sides can develop easily! 

2. The Danish Gambit! - I like gambits and this is my favorite! Sacrifice pawns, develop easily, and go on to a quick win!

3. Bishops, Pawns, Knights out opening! - I like the Reti, Bishop Openings, and other openings where you move the a1, h1 pawns after e4, and I like the Four Knights Game! ( Also, I can do the Halloween's Gambit!) 

4. Gambits! - You know when some positions when you play the normal opening, it gets kind of boring? Gambits are fun! You get to sac a pawn or two, maybe even a full piece, for quick development and making your opponent undeveloped pieces! I like gambits, as long as they're good!

Please tell your favorite opening/gambit/opening line in the comments below! happy.png grin.png

I like the Traxler attack but many people say it's bad.

The classic bird's oppening for white. For black... I mean.. It depends from the white happy.png

I know it's basic but the queen's gambit is easily my favorite. And I like the french defense happy.png

Scotch opening - can lead to some wild games depending on how black responds.

King’s gambit or Owen’s defense

Probably my least favorite because then my queens will trade and that is hard.
