I don’t want to take his knight.
So assume we were playing regular chess, but we only add a small variation: no castling; how would you open the game?
Opening the center means exposing your king, closing the center my give the king trouble as strong pieces of your opponent can give you a lot of trouble!
Without castling I would open on the flanks, and develop my rooks, early on the game (b4 or g4)
