While chess can often be a reactive game based on what your opponent does, you need to go in with a plan. That's where your opening comes in, and there are loads to choose from. For this bounty, we want you to talk us through your favourite! Why is it your favourite, what style of play does it enable, and how does it work? Make sure to include a screenshot of the opening!

My favorite opening is b4!
I know, it's not very popular, and I rarely play chess,but when I do, I start with this move. Serious players always think I’m up to something. ;)
One thing I've learned: the more chaotic you play against a strong opponent, the more it throws them off. I'll lose anyway, so why not have some fun in the process?!

I’m not a professional chess player, but I enjoy playing fast-paced games where I immediately put pressure on my opponent. My usual approach involves bringing out my queen or bishop early, aiming to control the center and threaten quick checkmates, just like the player with the black pieces has done.
I usually start with e5, and I like to choose between bringing out my queen first or my bishop. In this game, I decided to develop my bishop first, which is why I placed a supporting pawn behind it. However, in the end, my bishop got stuck in the center and couldn't move away.
From this position, I'll probably start looking for ways to develop all my pieces one by one and also prepare to castle.
My favourite (albeit fairly well known) chess opening is the Queen’s Gambit. It’s well studied and popular in chess, known as being a really strategic opening and though it can be used by beginners, it needs thought and studying beforehand. You can attack the pawn which gives you more control over the centre of the board. Then if your opposition decided to take said pawn, you’ve successfully executed, gaining more control over your opposition!

One of the most interesting openings is certainly the Sicilian defense, given that it is part of a semi-open game. Black makes its first move, the pedestrian move creates a non -symmetrical position that leads to complex actions, where white for example takes the initiative on the king's side, while black on that of the woman.

I love playing use this is the game of King's India Deffence. if it comes to that position and rokade, the defense and attack are very flexible so as to provide strong defense and counterattack preparation especially in the center with the help of active ministers, horses, forts. this opening is suitable for tactical play such as giving traps/combinations/direct attacks/sacrifices.
Rokade as an anticipation or if you want to do it directly, it's fine, next we will play pawn e7 to e5 and d7 to d6 according to the enemy's movement.
