You should definitely play Italian

Double Danish with a sideline order of double gambit Goring is not where I'm doing my homework

But I still like kings gambit, BDG scandinavian, mieses carokann, alapin diemer french, krejcik alekhine & smith morra gambits

black does not have to play any of these games if he doesn't want to.

Bullet, I am playing the Danish, anything slower it will be an Italian, maybe my dodgy Evans gambit, maybe a slow positional game instead.

Or, this if ur playing as black.

Only the first like, 5 moves as the opening. The rest is just if you wanna try to checkmate or prevent castling

Ima just post lots of openings.

Don't worry about checkmate for black, just try the openings.

Another one...

A nice trap for beginners, Here's another trap!

Here's my last one!

Ok, last one didn't work out for white. But don't play too deep like i did lol.

1. Always castle when you can. If you can castle, do it! But if you opponent is always attacking that side, try to castle on the other side.

2. When you have the chance to play en passant, DO IT. Unless you can checkmate and win, of course.

3. If your opponent castles first, castle on the opposite side. Then you can push pawns at your opponent's king and not worry about your king that much.

4. Think before you react. Some people just play the moves without even thinking about what they're doing. Even in bullet, at least take SOME time to think about your moves, unlike rapid when you can take time.

5. Your king is useless in the opening and middle game. But in the endgame, it becomes THE KING. When you know the endgame is about to start, try bringing your king out at least 2 or 3 squares forward, so that when the endgame starts, you have an advantage and your king can eat more pawns.

6. Rule of 2. (i learned this and it should be one of the most important rules when attacking)

always have 2 more attackers than your opponents defenders on an area of piece. If 4 pieces are attacking your opponent's king, then they will probably lose unless ur a 1 elo player.

7. Always look for EVERYTHING on the board. Even if you are losing by a rook and a queen, you could still checkmate if you can find it. (also goes for the think before reacting)

If I played e4 I'd probably go with the ruy lopez... because it's historically epic and I think there's so much nuance / complexity it should allow you to outplay the opponent if you put alot of effort into studying the opening. Main downside would be it's common... and you have to face the berlin sometimes. I'm not sure how much of a problem that will be though - the sicilian is common but people still play it badly. And there are some ways of bypassing the Berlin, you just have to cede some of the engine advantage, but I don't mind that. Vienna would be the alternative

Play Nf3 or Bc4 and follow opening principles like develop your pieces, castle early, fight for the center and pay attention to your opponents intentions.
