Looking for an aggressive non-gambit white opening

I'm pretty new to chess, and I'm looking for:

.An aggressive white opening

.Non-gambit

.With a sharp defense

.I'll also accept black openings, if you have any

Orangutan or Grob.

Seriously, I want an actual opening.

An aggressive non-gambit is hard to find. 😎

Wayward Queen Attack:

Birds Opening

How is it aggressive ?!?

Colle-Zukertort attack aka Colle: Rubinstein Variation

You sacrifice kingside safety to try and attack your opponents kingside, kind of like the Dutch Defense.

Chess Opening Recommendations…

You might give the Vienna Game & Gambit a try. After 1.e4 e5, by introducing 2.Nc3 prior to 3.f4 it is considered an improved version of the King's Gambit. The point being to first establish increased control of the center by protecting e4 and adding a second defender of the central square d5. All of this in anticipation of initiating an attack on the kingside beginning with the move 3.f4. The opening is very popular at the amateur level, and playable even by advanced players.

For beginner-intermediate players I also suggest to check out GothamChess (IM Levy Rozman) on YouTube for recommendations and quick tutorials on openings....

For more opening suggestions check out the chess openings tier lists videos by GM Hikaru Nakamura and IM Levy Rozman...
https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=chess+opening+tier+list

In the tier lists chess openings are categorized and rated in terms of their appropriateness vis-a-vis player skill level - i.e., beginner vs intermediate vs GM’s, etc. Note that in some of the videos (particularly the one for beginner openings) they frequently refer to some openings as "garbage" or "bad" (an unfortunate choice of terms).  However, these qualifiers are meant to convey how appropriate the specific opening is for the level of player being discussed, in terms of, for example, how much so-called "theory" (i.e., documented variations) the opening encompasses, or how much emphasis the opening places on positional versus tactical skills in order to play it well.

So, an opening they refer to as "garbage" for a beginner may in fact be appropriate for higher rated players who typically know more of the theory for particular openings and have a more highly developed understanding of positional concepts. For each of the openings discussed be sure, also, to pay attention to whether the evaluation is from White’s or Black’s perspective...

Finally, several articles on suggested openings and other articles on chess topics that may be of interest to the improving chess amateur in my blog....

1.e4.

Thanks I'll look at them and try and pick one I like, but I'll still take more, and when I say aggressive I mean something that gains me control of the center and pressures my enemy.

You might consider trying out the Scotch Game, even if in the 4...Qh4 Scotch you have to sacrifice the e4 pawn but you get a lot of initiative for it

If you don't know how to lock the center with ne5 and then start a kingside attack with moves like f4 + g4 then yeah it is passive. You can say that about any opening if you don't know what you're doing

How about this, I want an aggressive attack that gains me the center without having me loose many pieces.

what opening makes you lose all of your pieces?

Almost all answers in this thread are complete nonsense. RussBell's answer is not nonsense. but it is aimed at much higher rated players. Much higher.

What the opening poster needs to do about openings is to search for "opening principles" and try to internalize those. When you are new to chess, thinking about openings is not fruitful at all. What you should concentrate on is tactics.

At the 400 Elo level "tactics" mostly means "don't put your pieces to squares where they can be taken for free" and "when your opponent hangs a piece, take it".

1.e4 mainlines can be plenty aggressive.

Some 1.d4 sidelines can be played in an aggressive fashion as well, (Trompowsky, Richter-Veresov, Jobava-Prie).

These can also be played more positionally. It is up to the player to decide the volume.

so you want something for nothing
