X must be sum philidor centre surrender variation
Look for an obscure-ish variation of a very popular opening...

I: KID, some line in the Saemisch attack
IV: The structure reminds me of the Latvian Gambit, but Black is doing too well, so it can't be that...
IX: Some sort of Kalashnikov
X: Hmm... Cozio Defense?
XI: Almost certainly some variation of the King's Gambit, but I don't really know...

KID Saemisch and Cozio are correct!

Could IV be some sort of Alekhine's?
No, very popular opening, not so popular variation...

i know IV starts as e4 e5 nf3 nc6 bc4 f5 i dont remember the name
Close enough, Ruy Lopez:Schliemann is the answer! I assume you meant Bb5.

My Schlieman's don't look like that : 0...
Perhaps Benoni: Taimanov?
