The best opening is the one that you know best.

This is still an debate going on for what is the best chess opening. Here's the thing: There is no one "best" chess opening. Every opening has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the best opening for you will depend on your playing style and preferences. That said, there are a few openings that are considered to be good for beginners. These openings are relatively easy to learn and understand, and they can lead to a variety of different positions. Here are a few lists of openings which I will try to explain:
  • The Italian Game: This opening begins with the moves 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4. It is a solid opening that allows White to develop their pieces quickly and efficiently.
  • The Sicilian Defense: This opening begins with the moves 1.e4 c5. It is a more aggressive opening that gives Black the opportunity to attack White's queenside.There are many variations of the Sicilian Defense
  • The French Defense: This opening begins with the moves 1.e4 e6. It is a solid opening that gives Black the opportunity to develop their pieces and control the center of the board. It often leads to closed positions.
  • The Ruy Lopez: This opening begins with the moves 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5. It is one of the oldest and most well-respected openings in chess.
  • The Slav Defense: This opening begins with the moves 1.d4 d5 2.c4 c6. It is a solid opening that gives Black the opportunity to develop their pieces and control the center of the board. There are still ways for black to complicate the game so both sides must be prepared.

If you are a beginner, I recommend choosing one of these openings and learning it inside and out. The more you practice with an opening, the better you will become at playing it.

Here are a few additional tips for choosing the best opening for you:

  • Consider your playing style. Are you an aggressive player or a more positional player? Some openings are better suited for aggressive players, while others are better suited for positional players.
  • Consider your opponent's playing style. If you know that your opponent is an aggressive player, you may want to choose an opening that can help you to defend against their attacks.
  • Consider the current meta. The meta is the current trend in chess openings. Some openings are more popular than others at any given time. If you want to play an opening that is not as well-known, you may have an advantage.
