If you want to boost your chess rating long-term, then you’ll do best to choose any solid mainline opening. Using gambits and cheap tricks for openings (like playing for Scholar’s Mate) only get you so far and then players start exploiting your bad opening and your rating stalls.

If you choose a solid opening you’re comfortable with, then you can use it for years. You may find you want to switch openings in the future and that’s okay, but at least you’ll have more of a foundation for how solid openings look.

Opening principles is all you need when starting out: https://www.chess.com/blog/KeSetoKaiba/opening-principles-again

My blog post also has a ton of non-opening resources linked at the bottom of the post too :)
