Englund Gambit.

Dodges d4 theory and the London System (which isn’t something to be afraid of) until you cross over 1400 and actually relearn chess:

Almost everything with Gambit.
Grob 1 g4.
For black: 1 e4 f5, 1 e4 b5, 1 d4 g5

Gnaim

1.a4

zachertz
 
the sodium attack: you can win the e5 pawn at low levels

 

zachertz

a3: you are basically just playing black

zachertz
 
polish defense: some might fall for this trap

 

zachertz
the borg: same thing basically

HI, with White probably 1.h4 is the worst opening, followed by 1.f3, and 1. Nh3

With the Black pieces, more or less the same thoughts: 1...h5, 1...f6 (except against 1.b3) and 1...Nh6

Good luck!

Try the Barnes opening with Black as a response to E4

1 E4   F6

2 ?  Kf7

You are down 2.8 pts on stockfish after just two moves

Wow, 1.Nf3 eh, is this a typo?

No way the Reti is dubious in my eyes.

Hi! Not my typo :-)  I wrote 1.f3, and 1. Nh3

The Reti is one of my preferred openings with White I could never think it is a dubious one.

Good luck!

I’m a Sicilian and English player and just enjoy that I can deter an early e5 with 1.Nf3 and get my dragon position uncontested.

the worst opening possible is the birds opening!!! (moving the f pawn) then one can just checkmate you with the fools mate
