In otb chess, I’m kind of a beginner (around 800 uscf) and playing an Italian or four knights every game as white made me bored fast. I have just started playing Vienna games and gambits and it has made me win lots of games. As black, I started out playing pirc and kings Indian defenses but now I’m starting to play caro kann or French defenses.

Vienna Gambit, Scandinavian

Queens Gambit for white and Sicilian for black both give me 50-60% win rates

I love to use the Caro for black and for white either the Italian or kings gambit

When people play the Scandinavian against me I smile because I have like a 70 percent win rate

Scotch Gambit - you can't argue with the 60% win rate : )

I can argue with it!

What stats are you going based off of? Games played by noobs on chess.com that are rated 1500?

In the true Scotch Gambit, not the two knights transposition, the true Scotch Gambit, which is 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 exd4 4.Bc4 Bc5, Black scores the following on more respectable online databases:

365chess.com - 46.7% (35.7% wins, 22% draws)

ChessTempo - Over 53%! (40.3% wins, 26% draws)

Your numbers are bogus! 60% for White? RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT! What's next? Fake games in the database?

Hey I play the Scotch Gambit as my main, so I agree

Yeah me to i play scothch to with about a 54% win rate
