For once in your miserable life

If you vary your moves then it won't be the same opening moves. Try that. I hope this helps.

Well most other very different opening moves are simply bad. This makes the game fairly unenjoyable for most players as if one player uses decent but boring opening moves the game will be over almost immediatly, and if both players intentionally miss better moves, then that's not really fun at all, is it?

Yea I do vary my moves but they still do the same opening moves or at least you can tell they want to
baloma

1. If they ALWAYS make the same opening moves, you can simply play moves that you know will start capturing. For example, it you are telling the truth and your opponents NEVER vary their moves, then play this if you have the black pieces.

1. e4 Nf6 2. d3 Nxe4 3. Nc3 Nxf2 4. Nf3 Nxd1
5. Be2 Nxc3 6. Bd2 Nxa2

 

2. If you are complaining that they vary their moves in response to your varying, but they WANTED TO make the same moves  then I don't understand what you are complaining about.

Are there any other more... Obscure openings you could try? Then again the more complicated the opening the more knowledge and skills one needs to use it, which is why I usually stick to fairly simple openings.

the best openings move have been researched for hundred of years, by experts and grandmaster, they are better than you so ...if think you can come up with stronger opening then try but your effort will end with failure. there are two kind of creative, good and bad... bad is when you do not know what you doing

I understand it’s been researched and proven what moves are best controlling center of the board and that I have more fun with wacky games I guess
baloma

You are free to play wacky openings. Nobody is stopping you. Or do you mean you want to play the tried and true, but your opponents should do wacky things?

I’m just saying the first 4 moves of the game are so boring
baloma

Boring? The make some exciting moves! You have the power to do that! Did you try the moves I gave you?

I’m only around an 800 blitz player but I’ve played over 2500 games on here and it gets boring same openers
J0N_D
I have been in ways you are forced to play certain openers because of how your opponent opens
baloma

Yeah it really sucks when your opponent makes moves that limit your sensible moves.   Especially when you don't want them to make good moves.

I think that your taking it to seriously I’ve had fun playing some funky games win or lose sometimes I do weird stuff and it works out good sometimes bad just sick of playing by the books all the time
baloma

I don't think I'm taking it too seriously. In fact, I am pretty sure I'm not taking you seriously at all. But I think you are underestimating what YOU can do, choosing only to blame your opponent for a boring game. Get a book on openings. They can be hundreds of pages. There is one called the Encyclopedia of Chess Openings which has 5 volumes! There are lots of things you can do to introduce variation.  Take the initiative instead of accusing your opponents of having miserable lives.

just because you play the same opening move every game doesn’t mean you have a miserable life but it’s doesn’t mean you don’t !

Here is a fairly good free resource that will show you many variations you can play.

So without proof you just start hurling insults...
