Does anybody know any good chess openings for a 600? I've never tried to learn any openings, although I probably should've.

Thank you for the help, and for the quick response.

at 600, you don't need anything elaborate. this system will work for white and black. as white: g3, Bg2, Nf3, 0-0. play chess. as black: g6, Bg7, Nf6, 0-0. play chess. spend the rest of your time learning about developing pieces, center pawns and why they are important, tactics, and attacking and defending. As you learn chess and how to play it then you can start investigating openings. good luck!

I mean personally, I LOVE the King's Gambit and find it works really well at a low level of play, as black often struggles to defend all of white's threats, but if you decided to play it you should probably study some basic theory so you don't get immediately steamrolled.

Thanks to all of you for the help. I will make sure to try and use this advice.

The Cow's opening is super good. Trust.

If you’re 600 you should learn a system opening, as it’s a lot easier than theoretical. Have a little research of system openings and find one that you like :)

So a system like the london system, but not necessarily the london?

Tried the cow. Pretty easy. Fun to try something different.

I was just trolling due to how defensive of an opening it is. But good that you enjoyed it.

Cow gives us milk, but if you start giving milk to it then it won't produce milk. You get it?

The best opening is the one you are most comfortable and familiar with. It's important to study and understand the ideas and plans behind the openings you choose to play.

Until at least 1000 rating, chess opening principles is more important than memorizing opening theory, so I'd try to learn these principles. Here is a blog post I wrote years ago on the 3 opening principles I find most useful (Develop pieces, control the center, castle early)

If you want an opening in particular, then this is what I recommend to consider (including the chess personality quiz link in the video)

What you really should do, is look up "chess opening principles" and learn those. That would help enormously, and it is a relatively smell effort.

Right now, you tend to make pointless pawn moves instead of developing pieces and putting your king to safety.

You also tend to hang pieces (put them where your opponent can take them for free), which is very very bad. Fixing that should be your number one priority.

Here is an example game of what I'm talking about:

3. - c5 and 4. - c4 are pointless, useless moves that do nothing.

6. - Bg4 loses a piece (but your opponent missed it).

Moving the bishop again is another pointless move.

Resigning in the end is incredibly bad. Yes, you position is awful, but why resign? Where is the fighting spirit?

The Fried liver is an opening, but not what you think it is.
