Best Openings to learn?
Sort:
I’ve been getting tired of the same King’s Pawn Opening for a while now, and I’ve decided to know what are the best openings for white and black as a beginner, any suggestions?

I never bothered with learning openings because I felt it would make chess boring and be pointless since the opponent can just make an unexpected move and then you're stuck asking yourself, "now what"? I think learning basic principles and gaining positional understanding will take you much, much further

Back when I was a beginner, I played the Scotch game a lot. But Rhetro1 is right. No matter which opening you play, you need to be able to adapt to crazy moves - especially at a beginning level.

If you have no ideas though I would play either slav (for black) or just something simple such as the accelerated london for queens pawn
