thank you
I agree with the statement that the Guccio Piano is bad. White cannot hope to fight for a win with a quick c3-d4. It also doesn't help your chess strength in general compared to other openings.

That's some big talk coming from someone who isn't even at 1000 yet lol
I play the french defense with a little over 50 percent of the games being a win, especially in the advance variation because they don't know how to keep their center together. Since our opponents are hopefully not computers, it's not like everyone will find a way to pancake you

The French is trash, white can play the advance variation and dominate the center. i'm not sure why I see bots of all levels playing the French, I never see actual people play it.
This I disagree with. The advance variation has a good psychology behind it as white, gain more space and make black suffer on the kingside. But it's certainly not over since black's strategy revolves around putting pressure on d4 and generally gets a very playable game. It also helps you learn a lot about the game in my opinion.

I completely agree. Black can put a tremendous amount of pressure on d4 and many white players will just fall apart.

The only drawback to the french is that the exchange variation can be a bit dull
Kings gambit, ponziani and scotch game

I guess, but both sides have dynamic ways to play.
Looking for different opening that I can play
