Start with open games like Italian, Evans gambit or King’s gambit.

Start with 1. e4. It will give you much more open positions in comparison with 1. d4. You need to practice calculations, tricks and try to perform kings attacks.

You should not learn any of those. You already have some openings you are familiar with.

There are much more important and much more fruitful things to do with your time spent on chess. Tactics and endgames.

Of course, if you really want to spend your time to learn a new opening, sure, go ahead and learn whichever you want. But it won't help you get better at chess.

I like kings Indian attack. Black’s moves are a possibility.

Your only important task in the opening is to reach a middle-game position in which you feel comfortable and confident.

Whatever sequence of moves gets you there is the right opening for you.

Too many people consider "a new opening" to be a miracle cure.

You keep losing chess chess games? Get a new opening.

Going bald? Get a new opening.

Your dog died? Get a new opening.

Your opening choice should be based on the types of middle games you're comfortable playing. Review your games and find all the games you lost due to the opening. You'll find that will be right around 0%.

Kings Indian attack - is it the same as Reti opening?

All of those are white openings so I think you should try to learn something with black. Maybe the caro-kann or the scandinavian, (GothamChess has adviced begginers to play it in the past and he has videos on it.) against e4. Agaist d4 you should probably try to play some kind of copycat system that creates an equal position in the middlegame.

The scandinavian is bad, too much possibility.

ect.

Yes, I agree that its not a exceptional at a higher level, but at beginner level I dont think an opening being +0,7 means anything.

It’s fine at our level.

Subject: Discussion on Common Chess Openings Dear Forum Members, This post is initiated to foster a comprehensive discussion regarding the most frequently employed chess openings. These foundational sequences are critical to strategic development and are observed across all levels of play, from amateur to grandmaster. The enduring popularity of certain openings stems from their adherence to fundamental chess principles, their extensive theoretical development, and their capacity to generate a diverse array of tactical and positional scenarios. To facilitate this discussion, I present a brief overview of some of the most prevalent common openings: I. Openings Commencing with 1. e4: * Ruy Lopez (Spanish Game): Characterized by its classical structure and deep strategic nuances, this opening often leads to intricate and highly analytical positions. * Italian Game (Giuoco Piano): A more open and direct approach, conducive to active piece play and the establishment of fundamental opening principles. * Sicilian Defense: As Black's most common response to 1. e4, it typically results in sharp, tactical engagements with numerous variations. * French Defense: A robust and often resilient defense for Black, tending to lead to more closed positions and requiring careful strategic maneuvering. II. Openings Commencing with 1. d4: * Queen's Gambit (Accepted/Declined): A cornerstone of 1. d4 play. The Queen's Gambit Declined is renowned for its positional complexities, while the Accepted variation generally leads to more open lines. * King's Indian Defense: A dynamic and often aggressive defense for Black, wherein White is permitted to establish a central pawn structure which Black subsequently aims to undermine. * Nimzo-Indian Defense: A flexible and highly strategic defense for Black, distinguished by its control over the e4-square and its potential for rapid development. The consistent prevalence of these openings can be attributed to several key factors: * Adherence to Sound Principles: They consistently align with core opening tenets such as central control, rapid piece development, and king safety. * Extensive Theoretical Foundation: Centuries of analytical contributions have established a vast body of theory and well-defined lines. * Positional Versatility: Even within a single common opening, a wide spectrum of variations can lead to diverse positional types (., open, closed, tactical, positional). * Strategic Adaptability: Many common openings offer inherent flexibility, allowing players to adapt their plans to their individual style or their opponent's approach. Forum members are invited to share their preferred common openings, elaborating on the rationale behind their choices. Discussions regarding typical plans, strategic objectives, and common pitfalls within these foundational chess openings are highly encouraged. Your valuable insights and contributions to this discussion are greatly anticipated. Sincerely, Rajeeb_Mondal
