1: vienna gambit

This is a good opening, for many reasons.

1. it can give you a major positional advantage as soon as 5 moves.

2. if playing against very low elo players, it can lead toa short chesckmate, resembling scholars.

this is the main line, with it accepted

this is the positon with it declined

it can also transpose into the italian game and such.

the only defense against it is the anderssen.

although you can not get the pawn back immediately, it makes for a solid position. 
please post what you think the best opening is, for beginners.

Pls note that whatever I say here does not mean your opening suggested here is bad. The truth is that there is no best opening, the only good opening is the one you know most, you like, and has your style of play and you have to know all the plans and theory to know all of it. You explained your opening good though and your opening is easy to understand if I’m not wrong so keep going! :)

Yes, I would not hesitate to recommend it. It is the most solid and flexible sicilian, with easy development and does not require a lot of memorization. You get more opportunity to use your own judgement with this opening, compared to most 2...d6 lines.

Beginners should not be afraid to play the Sicilian. A lot of the opening advice for beginners is crap. As you progress, you will be playing players of similar ability, who are in the same boat. The Sicilian Defence is just as complicated for White as it is for Black. Black has a lot of control over the direction of the game, lots of choices for Black, which makes it less complicated for Black than is commonly believed.

I would think that the best openings for beginners would be the ones in which the aims are readily apparent, the book moves also happen to be "natural" moves that mirror opening principles, there are little or no retrograde piece movements or transfers, and do not have any complex positional ideas--no creating weak squares, inferior pawn skeletons etc. If an opening has moves that are confusing to a beginner in the first 8 moves, that is, a beginner can't explain why the confusing move is in fact the best move, then this is probably not a good opening for a novice chess player. By default, this makes the classical e4 openings like the Center Game, Bishop's Opening, Philidor, Four Knights and The Italian /Guioco Piano, Petrov, and Scotch Game as the best openings for beginners, as well as the 1.e4 gambits.

Sicilian and self variation of movement and mobility would be great to win 500-800 and Gambits:fish are good to win 600-1000
