But isn't it too risky for players whose ratings are below 1000

When you know all the theory behind the scotch game it is quite easily to play
Try not to blunder and try out some new openings

Here is the secret to becoming a better rapid chess player: Become a better chess player!
I looked at 5 of your losses. You make beginner mistakes—moving pieces twice, weakening pawn structure, giving away free pieces, not taking free pieces, exchanging pieces for no reason, and sin on.
my advice is to stop playing blitz and rapid until you learn basic principles and have enough time to put them into practice.
here is a thought experiment. Take a look at the games you have played in the last two days. What has it been? 30 or so 3-minute games? That is about three hours. How much have you learned in those 3 hours? Not much.
now think about what you could have done to improve if you had used those three hours effectively—read through 15 games from Chernev’s Logical Chess Move by Move, watched 6 30-minute videos on how masters think, studied endings.
I know it isn’t fun to study. It is work. You have to think. But consider how much more fun you will have if you actually improve.
my two cents.

Tysm I'll implement this
Just my two cents: you shoudn't stop playing. Puzzels, rapid games and some lessons on tactics is the right combination.

queens gambit is best opening for low rated players cuz many people accept the gambit at a low rating.
I would say the Italian game is good. I mostly win games with it. Or the bird opening if you are white. Or the Sicilian closed.
