My dear Gotham, because of your crazy style (one of my supposed theories is that chess players don't think like normal people), I'll give you a bit of a genius tip too: I don't believe that beginners (I'm not talking about those who just learned the moves) should use obvious openings like 1. e4 or 1. d4. They should choose a good opening that they understand, and in my case, oddly enough, it was the Sicilian. My game was pathetic, with the sole objective of hunting the queen (why not the king, lol), so after a reprimand from a GM, I went looking for something useful (www.chessmonitor.com/u/M92oV4ESB3oA1l5sZfPi), and it's been working, I feel comfortable. Obviously, I still have a lot of studying to do, but I've even managed to outsmart cheaters in Lichess per Hour tournaments. It has been very useful for me in forcing a quick change of horses, as the engines know how to use it divinely and it is very difficult for a human to calculate many moves ahead.
"The Classical: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6"
* But 3 Bb5+
"The Accelerated Dragon: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 g6"
* But 3 Bb5
"The Kan: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 a6"
* But 3 d3
Apart from that 2 c3, 2 Nc3, 2 f4
If you play the Sicilian Defense, then you play it in about half of your black games, or a quarter of your games.
Your opponent opening 1 e4 meets the Sicilian in about half of his white games, or a quarter of his games.
So that is equal.
However, if your opponent specializes in 2 c3, 2 Nc3, 2 f4, 3 d3, 3 Bb5+, then he plays those positions more than you in his games, so he has an edge in experience.

A beginner starts by treating the pieces as one-dimensional, just moving them. After losing a lot, they begin to realize that piece combinations can lead to a checkmate (two-dimensional). Then they realize that knights can jump over pieces, and the order in which you exchange pieces has a significant impact (three-dimensional). Finally, they realize that bishops and queens can't have the same response as other pieces because they move diagonally. In other words, they finally discover the multidimensionality of chess. It's a crazy theory; it takes time to understand, but it seems correct to me in very simple terms. Then, being able to practice these on the board will give you an advantage, obviously after losing a lot, something nobody wants to do...
Is this what this blogspace has become, doing clickbait off Levy clickbait?
and what everyone is doing, so it's the new normal... you seem to be doing the same too, right?
i think levy is kinda wrong . Begginers should chooses there playing opening
