Best opening for beginners!?!


I am not expert, but for white E4 openings, Scotch, Giuoco Piano, Spanish. D4, QG London system. These are some basic openings, but since you will see them all the time, it will help you to learn to play them and counter them.

1.e4 and Italian Game as White. 1.e4 e5 as Black. 1. d4 d5 as Black.
The Italian Game is comprised of the following three major openings/variations...
Giuoco Pianissimo - 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.c3 Nf6 5.d3
Giuoco Piano - 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.c3 Nf6 5.d4
Two Knights Defence - 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Nf6

There are usually two ways to win on this site. One is to traditionally win by checkmate and then there is flagging which means your opponent looses because they ran out of time. If you are playing a 10 minute game and the opponent averages 20 seconds per turn, they will only last 30 moves. A person that is cheating will be a slow player because they are going back and forth with a chess engine. The Hippo and Whale openings are good for punishing slow play.

That's true. unfortunately there are more and more cheaters on this site. These ruin the whole game fun. Thanks for the info with the openings.

The bird's opening as white, the Leningrad variation I thought was too passive and the position was a bit weird to navigate for me so I stopped playing it,so I play this variation. I ALWAYS play this as white.
- those scary looking bishops staring down on the kingside if my opponent castles kingside for a kingside assault
- the early f4 pawn provides central control and creates an block/chain on the black square diagonal; protection for the king || and it allows rook vision on the horse for protection along with the queen (2 defenders), you do not have to push the g pawn to protect once queen moves away|| Provides space for a rook lift (move up and into g3 or h3) for more attackers on the kingside
- often try to pry away the defending knight on f6 to line up the DSB; the knight on b1 usually comes later into the game, I use this knight to try to trade off the f6 knight
FEAR THE BIRD!
