best chess opening

There is no such thing as "best opening", just play what is comfortable for you, and make sure not to hang your pieces. Do not focus on opening theory, or your rating will increase much slower than if you study tactics.

I don't know any openings by name.

Hi

There is no "best chess opening", but everyone has their favorite. The King's Pawn Game (1. e4) and the Queen's Pawn Game (1. d4) are generally considered good for beginners. High-level openings like the Sicilian Defense, Ruy López Opening, and Catalan Opening should be avoided as they have a lot of theory and can be difficult to understand.

Idk

You should prepare your repertoire according to your own chess tastes and style. It is very important that you should like and understand the typical positions which result from your chosen opening. One good method consists of choosing, as a model, a strong player who plays your choice of opening particularly well and often, and then following his games. You study some model games in order, above all, to get a better understanding of the middlegame.

The approach I was taught when starting out in chess was to play open-structure openings. This is why I always tell my students to play 1.e4. I believe it is way easier to understand from an early stage compared to 1.d4 openings.

From there, you definitely want to develop the Ng1 and Bf1 and get castled, so I like openings such as the Italian Game

...or the Scotch Game

At this level, I feel you should prioritize keeping your king safe, pieces defended, and not memorizing theory, so I would stay clear of anything that involves moving the f-pawn.

With the black pieces, same thing, you should play 1.e4 e5 and play similarly to white until you get castled.

From here, figure out a way to develop your last pieces and connect the rooks. If you manage to do these things at beginner level, chances are you will have a pretty good game ahead of you.

Also, don't forget to always look out for potential threats and mistakes from your opponent, which usually come from loose pieces, and bringing the queen out too early.

Hope this helped

PS: I teach classes to players of all different levels, if you're interested, send me a message on my profile !

For beginners, a good chess opening is one that is simple, solid, and helps to control the center of the board.

And develop pieces and castle quickly

From my point of view, playing the Vienna is the easiest one. There are only a small amount of variations at the lower level, and I can't talk about the higher ones since I haven't reached there.

I love the challenges

Fried liver attack is a easy opening to learn

And easy to counter too, I suggest you learn how

No, it isn't. It requires a lot of memorization, and in any case what you have learned is unlikely to happen against a decent opponent.

Welcome back

FRIED LIVER IS THE BEST

Pirc defence is my preference, just defend after and use either 2 rooks and a queen to mate in a lined check (Hard to beat but hard to get down) or do normal mates, at low elo it isnt too important but what can I say, I got 200 elo

Just about any opening can work very well. It's just a matter of how you like to play.
