There is no good move. You get checkmated

As an avid e4 e5 player, I recommend avoiding ANY sacrifice on f7 by your opponent at ALL costs. This includes playing e6 on your first move rather then e5. Also the moment you get a pawn drop place it on f6 for strong protection against knights that might try to sacrifice on f7 from e5 and g5. If you choose to castle, build a pawn barrier around your king. And if for any reason despite all this you still end up having a minor piece sacrificed to you on f7, make sure to tell your opponent not to lose any knights. Even a single knight and your position is completely ruined, two knights and there is often a checkmate right around the corner. f7 is by far the most vulnerable target in bughouse for inexperienced (and often even experienced) players. Defend it at all costs and try to sacrifice on your opponent's f2 square if you can.

IN bughouse, if 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.Bxf7+?? loses immediately.

Like I said... my first suggestion is do not play 1...e5, instead play e6 to prevent the bishop sac before it is even threatened. Second suggestion is to tell your opponent not to lose a knight, as Bxf7 does not win on the spot if your opponent has no knights.

haha really? Deadliest attack in bughouse is a blunder? Of course it is worth giving up all your king safety and attacking chances for 2 points of material.

Hey, just(luke) wondering what the best starting move is to the community opinion because Kadas opening always makes me lose tin the long run. Thanks!

Chess is often dictated by plans and ideas; it is seldom the case that one move is "best." Community opening consensus is that the four most generally accepted as solid openings are 1. e4 or 1. d4 or 1. c4 (English Opening) or 1. Nf3 (Reti Opening). However, one move is nothing without the ideas and plans behind them and the first move is no exception. However, what these four openings do that others often do not do is controlling the central squares early. Statistically, these four moves mentioned score "best."

Let me play 5 bughouse games, all with bishop sac in the beginning, and look at my archive to see me lose the game.

Trexler3241

In first game, I won just because my opponent made so many blunders. They could have won if they defended properly.

Trexler3241

In second game, I won just because of opponent making blunder.

I looked at some of the games, you had insane attacking opportunities if you had just asked your partner for the right pieces.

Trexler3241

And in a 3rd game, I lost. Without a doubt, I did not make any blunders.

of course, but sacrificing on f7 is not your problem, finishing the attack or defending your own king is. When you get to 1400 bughouse you will realize people often go to great lengths to avoid a bishop sac on their f7 square.
