IF YOUR UNDER 1500 THIS IS FOR YOU! ( Opening advice) from a 1630 and stockfish!
I have issues defending 1. e4 as black. I tried learning the Caro-Kann and Sicilian, but both are bogged down in theory.

Yeah sometimes it does get complicated but I recommend learning one opening at a time, try not to learn every variation but learn one strong one! The Caro Kann is great for improving but I recommend this set up
This is just one variation called, Caro-Kann Defense: Advance, Short Variation with 4.Nf3, but if you feel like you want to to be hyper aggressive with the opening this is for you
in this position white is lost because the king side is wide open. This is commen when 1E4 players encounter the Scandinavian opening. it involves being hyper aggressive, as long as you attack you don't really need to memorize every variation just try to be careful with your queen.
Hi, as a 500, I just mostly want to know some openings that are good against early queen attacks as QUITE LITERALLY EVERY OTHER 500 PLAYS EVERY SINGLE TIME. Even though I usually win, it can get a bit messy, blunder-y and nerve wracking. Here’s one of my recent games where I won against an early queen attack (I was white)
The opponent ended up resigning, but it was a very messy game :/

Specific openings don't really matter. What does matter are opening principles and understanding the main ideas of the openings you play.
In that game you posted one practical thing you can do is not take the pawn and just develop your pieces. The more pieces you have out, the easier it is to repel an early queen attack. Another thing you could've done is 4.Qf3. It gets another piece out, defends everything and threatens f7.

Thank you! This helps a lot
hot take no advice can help a chess player under 1000
Not true at all, everyone technically starts there before they learn chess.
This is the Nimzo indian opening against D4, although this is just how I won I played with 90+ accuracy! ( most of the time I play with 80 to 70 so yeah this opening is really good)
This is the Queens Gambit one of the most famous and strong openings, I played with 91.0 accuracy! I recommend the position I started with, you can look at it and study the moves on Analysis 🧐
This is my Favorite game I ever played with two brilliants!! This opening I started with is the Ruy Lopez used by almost every GM including Magnus Carlsen, Hikaru nakamura and more! Although It got a little messy in the middle game 😅 I 100% recommend that you learn this opening since it has one of the highest win rates 🏆: EXTRA TIP FROM TACTICALPAWN-101, Try to play only one game a day and study it as much as possible, Ignore inaccurate moves and focus more on Blunders and Brilliants! also misses. Hope this helps, Tacticalpawn-101
#1 Openings don’t dictate your accuracy, and one-time accuracies shouldn’t dictate your openings
#2 If you get 1 90% accuracy, then good for you but that just means you blundered less in the game then in other games.
#3 Trying to play the Ruy Lopez because grandmasters play it is like trying to play Rush E because a supercomputer can.
#4 Your win with the Nimzo-Indian comes down to your opponent blundering a rook
#5. The French is way better than the caro kann, why would you ever play c6 and then 2 moves later play c5

nice but you forgot something... openings actually help you play with higher accuracy because they give you a better starting position unless you want to start with F4 and say its equal to the queen's gambit...also when I say GMs use opening like Ruy Lopez it's because they know it's strong and simple when you learn one variation... and when it comes to the Caro Kann game you showed at the top that is a pretty bad variation, the best one is when you develop the Bishop on F5 and then play E6 and then later on play C5. even google says so, Which to Choose?
Play the Caro-Kann if: You prefer a rock-solid, positional, and lower-risk game with easier development, as recommended by.
Play the French if: You enjoy sharp, closed positions with high tactical complexity and want to immediately fight for the center, as suggested by.

To be honest, I love Caro-kann. I feel I'm really comfortable with it, and I don't believe it is inferior to the French. It might be considered passive by some, but it is definitely solid. So I kinda disagree with @Ineffaceable .
That being said, I partially agree when you said, "openings actually help you play with higher accuracy because they give you a better starting position." Yes, they do, no doubt. It's just that, it's not what should be developed right now by anyone under 2000. Knowing basic info about it is enough, and winning in a certain opening might be because of a blunder by your opponent in the middlegame, not because the openings itself (yes it's related definitely, but I think it can happen to any other good opening). I just want to make my standpoint clear which is that, I don't think you need to give "opening advice" right now for below 1500. But, if you personally feel comfortable playing it, then why not? I think we can agree on this.
The whole French is better than Caro Kann was a joke just to make that clear
Also, you can win with anything against high rated opponents
I did this just to prove the worth of the birds opening
Next, Grandmasters don’t learn one variation of the Ruy Lopez as you cannot play it without knowing a whole ton of theory, including the Morphy variation, the berlin defense and other systems like this and calling the Ruy Lopez is simple is again, like calling Rush E easy to play
