try the english 1.c4 there are three main responses,
A)the symetrical 1.c4 c5
B)the indian 1.c4 Nf6/e6/g6 etc
c)the sicilian reversed type 1.c4 e5

As you are 1350 player I suggest 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5
Kidding! 🙂
Try London system (1. d4 d5 2. Nf3 Nf6 3. Bf4...). There are few main plans for white depending on what black plays, but you usually play it just as you would Colle, pawns on c3 and e3, Bd3, Qe2, going for e4 break...
Or try Scoth if you prefer e4 opening. 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. d4.

well, if you like playing as black, play Andersson's Opening...
1. a3
you are essentially playing black where white cannot play the Ruy Lopez
surely, someone after this post will say thats preposterous because it does nothing to take center or develop in any way...
well, remember, this is a 1350 player...
close to me...
most of us aren't capable of taking advantage of the loss of one tempo anyway...
at this level, we have to gain at least two tempi to turn an advantage in most cases...
and the bonus is... you only have to be familiar with openings black normally plays...
MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
