Good openings for 1800+ ?

Openings don't matter as no opening is bad enough to lose (ofcourse except Fool's mate)!

That's not bad either.
Nakamura has played it quite successfully.

I'm majorly a blitz player but am around 2200 rating for rapid. (2100 for blitz). I play the caro for black and vienna for white.
As black against d4 i go for a fienchettos bishop and even play the budapest gambit if i am given the chance. These are not the most commen openings (especially the budapest and Vienna) so you can normally catch people a bit off guard. However these openings may not be good for everyone but i find that they are easy to play and can be quite fun. Hope this Helps!!

1.f3 for white and 2, Kf3

Openings don't matter, follow basic rules and crush your opponent in middlegame

King's gambit as white lol

Latvian gambit against e4 if you feel like a gambit otherwise just learn the sicilian/French defense or something normal

In my opinion 1.e4 and 1.d4 are okay. If you like open positions I reccomend e4, if you like strategic positions and middle games i offer d4.

> Hello. Recently when I played some blitz games, I realized that my openings are just destroyed by my opponents, even my dearie Modern Scandi doesn't work anymore because there are some opponents in the right who follow my well studied line but crush me in My Own prep, and on the left people who just play things out of theory, just irregular moves which look very smart.

So for e4, I play the Dragon and 75% of the time I win.
Against d4, I would again play the same idea with the Kings Indian Defense

Sadly, only sensible players and very strong players agree to this.

i mean you would get crushed 90% of the time if you actually played f3 and kf3 but yea
