@llama, no need to be so toxic.

I am sorry @EnergeticHay, here is a more specific question:

What opening would you recommend for a 1500 USCF rating?

An opening that fits your style

I can't really recommend any openings when the question is that general. Could you maybe ask something like "what would you recommend against the Sicilian Defense as white?" or something like that?

@EnergeticHay, what would you recommend as an off-beat line to play against the Sicilian? I'm getting tired of always playing Nf3 and d4.

Nf3 and Bb7?

1. e4 c5 2. g3 - I don't know how to play that but I've seen it before. You just develop your pieces and play I guess

Either way, stop pretending you have something useful to say.

You don't.

@llama get the hell out of here. Blocked and reported

+1 He abused me too.

Anyways, which line do you recommend to counter the Sicilian defense ?

I honestly think playing 2. Nf3 and 3. d4 is simply the best way to play

I have a condition called aphantasia, which is the lack of a mind’s eye. Because of this, I can’t visualize positions in my mind, making it hard to calculate lines and look ahead. How can I calculate better?

Um... maybe play more daily chess, you can analyze games there, and perhaps the severity of your condition will mellow out

oooh, sorry to hear that. That must be tough. I guess you will just have to spend more time than others to master the skill! Solving puzzles/tactics is the best way to do this

In blitz, I generally lose by time in winning positions, but if I play fast, I generally resign in losing positions, or I get checkmated. What should I do? Do you have any tips for me to think faster?

um... seems like you're at a point where you're stuck. Stop playing blitz, and study!
