I want to learn a good opening for white that's not too complicated like the Ruy Lopez and doesn't have many good responses. Does anyone have any suggestions?

What about gambits

VaItroa

thats ok

There's no perfect opening, but I would advise you to learn something like King's Fianchetto or Vienna Faulkbeer Gambit for king side and London System or Old Variation Queen's Gambit for queen side.

They are not incredibly difficult to learn.

who told you the ruy lopez was super complicated? gothamchess i bet.

ignore gotham for he knows little to nothing about the ruy lopez, i recommend you learn this easy to know variation

its very simple

  • you play h3 to avoid Bg4
  • you will play Re1 to protect e4
  • you will play Nd2-Nf1 then choose between Ne3 or Ng3 and try to get at f5
  • and you will play for d4
  • Bg5 is in the playing cards if black ever moves his dark squared bishop

you can also choose to throw in a4 if you want to (depends on the positions needs)

sharp games then ig idk im pretty new

Sea_TurtIe

if you like sharp games i recommend playing the c3-d4 italian as white

or learning the scotch gambit

but learning them is a must, dont just play them because you think youre ready, learn them

VaItroa

a mi no me gustan los gambitos de piezas, no encuentro alguna ventaja como en el de rey, dama y el escoces

me gusta mas lo de e4 y e5 ya que se controla el centro en la primera jugada y permite un buen desarrollo de piezas

algo basico pero si se sabe utilizar es un arma mortal

Sea_TurtIe

the purpose of the gambits are to get a lot of piece development, many of them still come out of e4-e5 @CARJ_23

I'm gonna say play what you like, but this is such a huge misconception by beginner players. They think Ruy Lopez is just "positional and boring".

So wrong.

e5 es la mejor jugada para igualar para las negras. Personalmente prefiero c5, la siciliana, ya que es la más agresiva. Es decir que, cuando uno juega c5, no quiere hacer tablas. Quiere ganar con las negras.

Sin embargo, hablamos de las aperturas para las blancas, o sea cual de las aperturas dentro de e4 e5 es la mejor (mientras no sea muy complicada).

Learning openings isn't as efficient and rating-boasting as you think. Instead of learning openings, focus on following opening principals. It is way more efficient. In case you feel you lose a lot of games in the opening, then it isn't the opening that you should learn, it is how to avoid blunders. Note that when I say "learning openings", I mean studying it throughly.
