Openings for beginners



In all seriousness, I think that the Evans Gambit is very good at the beginner level. It starts as follows:
1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 Nc6
3. Bc4 Bc5 (Giuoco Piano Game)
Then you play 4. b4. Most beginners will play Bxb4 in response, as I did when first encountering this gambit. Next you play 5. c3, attacking the bishop, and they will likely play either Ba5 (main line), Be7 (Anderssen Variation) or Bc5 (McDonnell Defense). If they play the latter, then you castle and play d4. If they play Ba5 or Be7, strike center with d4 and if takes you have castles, you can gambit a third pawn to make some sick lines, there’s Qb3 to build a battery on the weak f7 pawn, many different traps and attacks you can play. And even if your opponent knows the theory, white is still completely fine. If you study it enough, you will definitely get some ELO out of it.

Forget about the openings. Learn how to think during the game and openings are going to be piece of cake. I can teach you EXACTLY how to think during the game (opening, middlegame and endgame). Your chess understanding will never be the same and you will improve a lot. I charge €35/h, but if you can’t afford too many lessons, don’t worry. I can teach you a lot in an hour.

If you want to study by yourself, read ‘Logical Chess’. It is really instructive book. You have it on youtube as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0eTB7oHeRgM&list=PLUrgfsyInqNa1S4i8DsGJwzx1Uhn2AqlT
