London system
Best Opening for Beginers
Sort:
May be a bit biased here, but if you mean for white, I’d recommend the Center Game. Extremely simple and effective. The only problem is the early queen development though it isn’t really a problem since the queen should end up on e3 where it’s quite hard to attack

What's the center game?

If you love the Vienna game (especially the gambit), just play that. Why would you want to change it?

Oh yea I've played this before, thank you.
Experiment and look around and find something you like. I personally avoid going for any opening that is promoted as "easy" like the london system as there are always disadvantages for them, with the london it is stable and easy but it relies on your opponent making mistakes, but its popular and so as you improve your opponents will be used to it, and playing against the london isnt complicated. I wouldnt want to have to play the london every game I get white, even if I enjoyed longer games.
Personally I would go for something strong and solid, even if it is harder to learn. You are a beginner so playing against other beginners so it's the perfect time to learn new openings, even if they are a little more complicated than you might expect for a beginner. The queens gambit for d4 and ruy lopez for e4 are perhaps the strongest openings, but black can play against e4 or d4 in many ways and so you should experiment with both e4 and d4 and see which you prefer playing.

Ah i see soo the vienna isn't for you?
You should try the italian game. Its a very eazy opening to play, No weaknesses, Lots of chances for a kingside attack and more! Does this sound good?

The italian game is not a one trick pony like the vienna, But in the italian what matters is positional strength and short term plans.

Losing 45% is normal. If you lose less it means you are either drawing a lot or underrated.
Stick to the openings you like. If you like Vienna, keep playing that. If you want variety, maybe add the Queens Gambit.
With black, if you play e5 against e4, maybe add the French or Caro-Kann and against d4, maybe sometimes go Nf6 and go for Grunfeld or the King’s Indian.

There is a reason he isnt playing those. They dont fit him maybe.

It is possible to get to 1000 rating on just opening principles and not have a need to learn a particular opening: https://www.chess.com/blog/KeSetoKaiba/opening-principles-again These opening principles are useful to learn because they are foundational to the game and because memorizing many opening variations isn't required.
However, if (and when) you do want to choose an opening, then I recommend experimenting to see what opening works for you. In fact, I even made a video to help someone with how to do exactly that
