Please do not tell me that I need to play in ranked tournaments, take some classes, or list a bunch of sites. :/ An explanation to why it’s so good would be appreciated.

there is none each opening has it’s own features. some gets you a better position some gets you better material later on some may even checkmate fast
move the pawn that’s in front of your king ONE SPACE only. Then continue making an arrow like ^ in the front row without moving your king or queen
White’s strongest opening is the Ruy Lopez, known in Europe as the Spanish Game:
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5. The white N attacks Black’s KP. The black N defends it. Then the white B attacks the black N. This indirect threat gives White pressure that lasts well into the middle game.
The Ruy Lopez is so strong that Black often avoids it by playing the Sicilian Defense 1….c5, or the French Defense 1….e6, or the Caro Kann Defense 1….c6, or the Petroff Defense 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nf6.
queens pawn openings, eg, 1d4 d5 2 c4 e6
I like quick open games.
Queens gambit accepted (I find most people online are used to E4 opening and don’t always know how to respond to D4) as white and Kings indian defence as black
I like the Sicilian Defense (initial moves 1. e4 c5) a lot because of the amount of theory available on it. It can be a little overwhelming the amount of theory there is, and that’s probably why a lot of times white will avoid the Sicilian lines by playing d4; however, If you are willing to spend lots of time working on it then it will serve you well!
