Ideas for Someone Starting Out Again

Sort:

After a two years hiatus from chess I have again returned to the sixty four squares realizing just how much I have lost in the time since I have stopped playing. However I am committed now more than ever to learning and improving my performance. I do have a question for the chess.com forums however...

As I start to get back into the groove I am trying to again develop a reliable opening repitoire. At first I was playing very defensively and losing often because what I am strong at is tactical play *I have done the De La Maza Seven Circles at least four times now*. I was wondering if you forum readers could suggest to me some tactically oriented openings for me to chew on. I'm looking for something that gives me a lot of room to shake things up and hopefully not get bogged down in grinding positional play. Any help is very appreciated...

 

Thanks

Here's something fairly "violent" and relatively high-risk, though minimizes the theory you need + guarantees open tactical games nearly all the time.

White :1.e4 with Danish/Morra/BDG/Alapin-Diemer/Diemer-Duhn/Caveman attack based on Black's responses.

Black : Nf6 Scandinavian, Baltic Defense,

Vienna game as white ought to give you some interesting tactical games without being completely unsound.
