Seriously? Like I said in the other thread you created about openings...it's all about YOUR preference, try a couple out and see what suits you.
EDIT: Ok, I looked through one game, you dropped a queen in that game, then got your knight trapped. The opening isn't where your concern should be right now. You should definately be studying tactics.
I personally like to start with e4 most. I think it causes black the most problems in the hands of a skillful player. Fischer called e4 "best by test" and statistically, if you limit Chesbase to 2400+ players, e4 scores about 2% better. (On the other hand, if you limit it only to 2000+ d4 scores about 2% better.) Without a doubt, e4 is a sound way to start your game and should be particularly well suited to the more tactical players.
However, e4 is not the only solid opening move. Another good way to start is d4. I'm currently experimenting with it. Of course. Nf3 and c4 are also good opening moves. Anything outside these four moves is of questionable value for an opening advantage.
Originally posted by Knight SquareI think the unbalanced games such as sicilian (1.e5 c5) or french gives good attacking options for both. But there are many openings which gives attacking options. I think black usually tries to equalize first before starting to look for something, so in a way it's all defence for black until he stands at least as good as white.
What would be a great opening for a:
-Attacking Postion
-Defending Postion
-Moderate Postion
-or gain of Material
I think the question is better phrased at how sharp you want the play to be.. Because the point is that you'll need different approaches to attack in different positions. You can't say a silent d4-opening is less attacking than a sharp e4-opening, you're just attacking in different ways. The meaning of a sharp positions is usually that the "scale" easily tips to one side, and one must also be prepared for complications.
Originally posted by Red NightReally? I thought it would be more advisable for a beginner to open with 1.e4 leading to more open, tactical positions and with mistakes being quickly punished. The quicker your mistakes are punished, the quicker you learn.
1, d4. At your level it's the easiest to learn.
Originally posted by Red Night1. d4 isn't exactly a beginner opening I don't think. It needs a lot more study since all the replies can be tricky. e4 is much easier to master and like said in the post before mine, much more tactical and immediately punishable if given the opprotunity.

Originally posted by GalaxyShieldI agree with e4 is a good opening for a player of my level, because it can lead on to other openings eg. Ruy Lopez, King's Gambit and so on...
All opening jokes have already been used so I'll give my honest opinion instead of a joke, which I was planning to do.
1. e4

Thanks 😀
What if I was Black, would I play e5 or what?
Originally posted by GalaxyShieldI was thinking that there are so many immediate responses to e4: e5, e6, c5, d6, nf6, d5, c6.

Responses to d4 are generally limited to d5 and Nf6. Whites 2nd and third move are almost always c4 and Nc3 or Nf3. Most of the openings with d4 tend to follow a similiar theme.
However: there is some merit to learning the game as a total beginner by playing e4.
Originally posted by Red NightThat's just wrong. There are a lot of replies to 1.e4, but there are probably just as many to 1.d4. For example, Benko, Budapest, Benoni, Nimzo, Bogo, Queen's Indian, King's Indian, Slav, Semi-Slav, Queens Gambit variations (accepted, declines and many others). 1.e4 is just the best way to learn.
