White: Italian Opening or Sicilian Defense: Alapin Variation

Englund gambit is quite fun to play against D4, although people are starting to learn the theory and it's harder to come out of the opening with an advantage or even neutralising the position. E4 and C4 are what I generally play as white, but I'm trying to learn the Nimzowitsch-Larsen opening as it is not as confrontational and I don't think many people at my level will know how to play against it

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!
There is no such thing as "White Openings". Both sides determine THE opening. It's not like White is playing one opening and Black is playing some other opening.
1.e4 e6 2.Bc4 is NOT the Bishop's Opening. Neither is 1.e4 c5 2.Bc4 or 1.e4 c6 2.Bc4. The first is just stupid and White is already worse. The second isn't very good either, but not as bad as the first. The third is the Hillbilly Attack, which is also dubious.
Only after 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 do you have the Bishop's Opening.
Same goes for any other opening. For example, my favorite is the French Defense. 1.e4 e6 2.d4 d5 is a French Defense. 1.Nf3 e6 2.c4 d5 is not the French, just because Black played the same moves. Neither is 1.d4 e6 2.c4 d5, or 1.f4 e6 2.Nf3 d5, or anything else that does not involve e4 by White.
So you should get rid of this idea that everything you like are "White Openings". There are no "White Openings" or "Black Openings". Simply openings that you might prefer to play the White or Black side of, but after 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4, it doesn't matter if you are Black or White (and no, I'm not Michael Jackson), it is the Bishop's Opening (which could transpose to another opening, like after say, 2...Nc6 3.Nf3 Nf6, you'd have the Two Knights Defense).

Yeah. Dividing openings between White and Black openings is racist.
Uh, chess is a game you know. Just a game.
