I recommend the Sicilian Najdorf Bg5 poison pawn variation ESPECIALLY for beginners. (AND DEFINATELY NOT the Italian or just e5 (for black))

Any opening that fights for the center. Seriously, until you are getting close to 1000 elo, developing good habits and avoiding blunders is more important than memorizing openings.

I recommend the kings Indian defence for both black and white, Only for blitz and rapid only, don’t play it in bullet. I won a tournament 5/7 with only the kings Indian.

I would start with whatever is most defensive at first. Make basic pawn walls backing eachother up. Then focus on castling immediately, and after development on every power pieces making only one move for each if possible, and finally attacking with developed pieces. Get comfortable with a basic beginning you can build off. Always blunder check your opponents moves were does his pieces go after this? Also you should pick longer time controles as opposed to shorter ones...Hope this helps.

Could this be abit to complex for someone new? I like the idea just that a new player might get lost or not fully implement it imo.

Caro-Kann is probably the least complex opening you'll ever see.
