I'm going vs my friend in a chess game on chess.com, I'm asking for the best opening to play against him
I tend to use the scotch game or scotch gambit as white and the Scandinavian defense: modern variation or Nimzo-Indian defense as black
Simplest and best is to defend 1 e4 e5 and 1 d4 d5 as black and to open 1 e4 as white.
If your friend likes open games: Consider the Sicilian Defense as Black or Ruy López as White. These can lead to sharp, tactical battles.
