    one thats kinda passive, not very agressive, i like openings that are not known too well and dont have so many variations; i spend more time on mid game and end game than opening.

    Thay all have a lot of variations. Just pick one and follow the principles (ie, control the center with pawns, develop your pieces to their best squares [in one move preferably], castle early, and youll be in the middlegame before you know it.

    You might learn a opening system with few variations, but youre not guaranteed to play it all the time.

    as white, depending on the opening, i think its possible to keep the game within a few variations if you stay away from e4 especially.

    playing knight openings as white usually forces the game towards moving the pawns to the d file. if you open Nc3 it doesn't permit e5 and you can narrow down what you have to learn. "guioco piano" (meaning quiet game) is also one your probably looking for because you said you dont want it to be that strategical and not many variations to learn

    im not really looking for giuoco piano, your opponent has to play e5.

    I've got it! The HAMMERSCHLAG-with a name like that it's got to be good.

    1.f3 e5 2.Kf2! Very little theory.
