Englund Gambit.

Dodges d4 theory and the London System (which isn’t something to be afraid of) until you cross over 1400 and actually relearn chess:

Almost everything with Gambit.
Grob 1 g4.
For black: 1 e4 f5, 1 e4 b5, 1 d4 g5

the sodium attack: you can win the e5 pawn at low levels

a3: you are basically just playing black

polish defense: some might fall for this trap

HI, with White probably 1.h4 is the worst opening, followed by 1.f3, and 1. Nh3

With the Black pieces, more or less the same thoughts: 1...h5, 1...f6 (except against 1.b3) and 1...Nh6

Good luck!

Try the Barnes opening with Black as a response to E4

1 E4   F6

2 ?  Kf7

You are down 2.8 pts on stockfish after just two moves

Wow, 1.Nf3 eh, is this a typo?

No way the Reti is dubious in my eyes.

Hi! Not my typo :-)  I wrote 1.f3, and 1. Nh3

The Reti is one of my preferred openings with White I could never think it is a dubious one.

Good luck!

I’m a Sicilian and English player and just enjoy that I can deter an early e5 with 1.Nf3 and get my dragon position uncontested.

the worst opening possible is the birds opening!!! (moving the f pawn) then one can just checkmate you with the fools mate
