I like 1. c4 and I think it's called c4 opening. I only have 1 move in my opening. I can't checkmate my opponent in 1 move, maybe in the middle game or end game, I can.

bean 1c4 is the english opening a personnel fave

Phantom_of_the_Opera

I like c4 as well.  Does anybody like 1.B4?  I do not.  Just wondered.  :)

Phantom_of_the_Opera

It is played very often in OTB chess games!!  I can not refute it well.

Phantom_of_the_Opera

Nobody plays B4?? thats weird... I know a ton of people who do.

Ironman111

My made up is the blitzkrieg defense.e4 Kxe4 done!

Ziryab

Franco-Benoni. I get a crappy position and still manage to win.

Noreaster

French defense

Talfan1

the ones i lose to by not knowing are faves too as they make me study them post game to learn their tactical motifs

Ultraman81

I like openings that are considered unsound, and throw your opponent off their regular game.
* Blackmar-Diemer Gambit
* Gibbins-Wiedehagen Gambit
* Göring Gambit
* Halloween Gambit

etc. No guarantee for winning, but definitely a guarantee for interesting and dynamic games!
