I've started chess almost 1.5 years ago.. I'm about 1700 CFC (canadian chess rating OTB).
I want to know what opening I should play; I'm an aggressive/active player (hate passive/defensive positions lol)
and don't mind to gambit a pawn for an attack.
I have played so far as white: e4.. upon e5 i play the ruy lopez, against c5 - smith morra
as black: if e4.. e5, d4 - random things lol i.e Budapest defense (I was really confused)
Just to make my openings more stable, what do you suggest for my playing style? (as white and black)
An IM recently recommended i play the King's Gambit for now as white instead of the Ruy Lopez, and stick to Smith-Morra if c5, and try the King's Indian Defense against d4. I'm really not sure about black against e4.
What do you suggets and why? Any suggestions are welcome and greatly appreciated. Thank You
