Ok, well a lot of lower rated players on here are asking what the best opening for them is. And I've found it! It's called the "Hammerschlag", it immediately takes control of e4 and puts white's king in a very pleasant spot! It also really fights for the win and leads to excellent tactics. Here's the line for all those interested
1.f3 e5 (many other responses can be used here, but your second move you always be...)
2.Kf2!
Enjoy, and good luck.

How is your ratio between wins and losses when you're playing f3 and Kf2?

what a bunch of crap!
A beginner should learn perhaps a couple of classical openings and defenses...not openings that are weird for the sake of weird. The opening a beginner learns should teach important principles of the opening and not show the 'exceptions to the rule'.

why would that opening be better when your not developing your pieces then castle? its not like someone can create a deadly attack in 4 moves that can't be stopped
