An opening for beginners

You'll have to step outside of your comfort zone and learn about new things. I assume you liked the London because it's a low theory opening where you (often) get a paint-by-numbers kind of attack. But I see you're asking for more of the same. You're not going to improve much that way. Just saying.

You should not be focused on the opening.

You need to learn how to calculate.

Give openings a rest and read "The Inner Game of Chess" by Andrew Soltis.

thank you ThrillerFan I will check it out. 👍

"... for those that want to be as good as they can be, they'll have to work hard.
Play opponents who are better than you … . Learn basic endgames. Create a simple opening repertoire (understanding the moves are far more important than memorizing them). Study tactics. And pick up tons of patterns. That’s the drumbeat of success. ..." - IM Jeremy Silman (December 27, 2018)

Perhaps it would be a good idea to start with Discovering Chess Openings, a book about opening principles.

Here are some books that set out to help the reader to choose specific openings:

Be sure to try to use the openings in games in between sessions of learning. Most of the time, one faces a position with no knowledge of a specific move indicated in a book. One has to accept that as part of chess, and think of opening knowledge as a sometimes helpful aid. After a game, it makes sense to try to look up the moves in a book and see if it has some indication of how one might have played better in the opening. Many opening books are part explanation and part reference material. The reference material is included in the text with the idea that one mostly skips it on a first reading, and looks at an individual item when it applies to a game that one has just played. Resist the temptation to try to turn a book into a mass memorization project. There are many important subjects that one should not neglect because of too much time on opening study.

"... Overall, I would advise most players to stick to a fairly limited range of openings, and not to worry about learning too much by heart. ..." - FM Steve Giddins (2008)
"... I feel that the main reasons to buy an opening book are to give a good overview of the opening, and to explain general plans and ideas. ..." - GM John Nunn (2006)
"... If the book contains illustrative games, it is worth playing these over first ..." - GM John Nunn (2006)
"... the average player only needs to know a limited amount about the openings he plays. Providing he understands the main aims of the opening, a few typical plans and a handful of basic variations, that is enough. ..." - FM Steve Giddins (2008)
"... Everyman Chess has started a new series aimed at those who want to understand the basics of an opening, i.e., the not-yet-so-strong players. ... I imagine [there] will be a long series based on the premise of bringing the basic ideas of an opening to the reader through plenty of introductory text, game annotations, hints, plans and much more. ..." - FM Carsten Hansen (2002)

"The way I suggest you study this book is to play through the main games once, relatively quickly, and then start playing the variation in actual games. Playing an opening in real games is of vital importance - without this kind of live practice it is impossible to get a 'feel' for the kind of game it leads to. There is time enough later for involvement with the details, after playing your games it is good to look up the line." - GM Nigel Davies (2005)
"... Review each of your games, identifying opening (and other) mistakes with the goal of not repeatedly making the same mistake. ... It is especially critical not to continually fall into opening traps – or even lines that result in difficult positions ..." - NM Dan Heisman (2007)

My suggestion is to open with 1.e4.  That may seem like a lot to learn compared to the London System, but I think it would help your progress in the long term.  Players at the lower levels aren't very booked up(and even if they are, it doesn't really help them all that much), so playing 1.e4 isn't as daunting as you might think.  Tactical skill and the ability to calculate are what will decide most of the games.

If you want some help developing an e4 repertoire, a basic book can be useful. Here are a few that might interest you.  They take somewhat different approaches to the various Black defenses, so one might appeal to you more than another.

Starting Out: 1.e4 by Neil McDonald (Oldest of the 4 books. Meets the Sicilian head on with the Open. Scotch versus 1...e5. Tarrasch French. Panov Attack Caro-Kann. Covers other defenses, as well.)

A Simple Chess Opening Repertoire for White by Sam Collins (Focuses on getting isolated Queen's pawn positions. Sicilian is 2.c3 variation. Tarrasch French. 2.c4 Panov-ish Caro-Kann. Italian vs. 1...e5. And covers other defenses.)

Keep It Simple: 1.e4 by Christof Sielecki (Four Knights Scotch vs. 1...e5. Exchange French. Mainly Bb5 Sicilians. Two Knights Caro-Kann. And other defenses included.)

Opening Repertoire: 1.e4 by Cyrus Lakdawala (People seem to love or hate this author. Bishop's Opening versus 1...e5. Advance French. Advance Caro-Kann. Mainly Bb5 Sicilians.  And other defenses.)

"... [Starting Out: 1 e4!] may provide the reader with the outline of a repertoire that will require further research, but this is far from the promise to provide everything needed to play the opening with confidence against strong opposition." - FM Carsten Hansen (2006)

I am convinced that there is no better opening system than the London for amateurs, adult-improvers, and young aspiring talents alike. From the rating range of 1200-2200.

In this article, I cover the essential reasons why everyone should practice the London https://www.chess.com/blog/2Bf41-0/3-reasons-why-everyone-should-play-london-system-pawn-structures

In this article, I discuss many queries London players ask about improvement, books, theory, etc... https://www.chess.com/blog/2Bf41-0/london-system-q-a

Switch to e4 

......or 1.a3 for that matter.

Good luck

"... [The English Move by Move] is not intended to provide a complete coverage of all English lines. By the same token, nor is it a repertoire book. ... Instead what this book seeks to do, via a series of deeply-annotated illustrative games, is to instruct the reader in the main English Variations, and the different structures to which they lead. ..." - FM Steve Giddins (2012)

https://www.newinchess.com/media/wysiwyg/product_pdf/7129.pdf

"... Lines such as the entire complex of variations that arise after 1 c4 c5 2 Nf3 Nf6 3 d4 cxd4 are not covered. The double fianchetto is also missing, as are many other popular and lesser lines. ... the lines that are discussed are covered in excellent fashion. ... Nevertheless, there are many holes in the coverage, ..." - FM Carsten Hansen (2012)

Is there any reason to believe that the Move by Move book covers lines that can form a repertoire? Is a 1400-level player necessarily going to want to attempt to take on the time commitment required for the many different types of middlegames associated with the lines advocated by the Cummings book?

"... Cummings’ repertoire requires mastering many more middlegame structures than purely g3 based English systems. ... While this could be just the ticket for an ambitious player wishing to learn many different types of middlegames, it does require a significant time commitment, much larger than for those who play 1.c4 followed by g3 and Bg2. ..." - IM John Donaldson (~2016)

In any event, one can look at samples of both books in order to have a better perception of whether or not one wants to try to work on them.

D4 openings are usually more closed and strategical. E4 openings are more open and attacking. I suggest looking through e4 openings. One might just fit your taste.

A few popular ones:

• Italian Game
  
• Ruy Lopez
  Scotch
  •  
    

    Thats about it

     

I agree with ThrillerFan, but have you actually worked with a repertoire book? I glanced at a few of your games and I gather you like time and active pieces, with a disregard for material.

Best of next year to meet your goals!
