re: Favorite Chess openings?

I know of the traxler but it is a bit complex. There is another trap I play that almost always ends in checkmate. I don't even know the name of it anymore.

To improve. Solve a few riddles every day and analyze all of your games via the game report if you are using Chess.com.

It will show you the best move and rate your moves... good, excellent, mistake, blunder etc.

In addition to that watch some youtube videos and that are all over the internet or buy a book or two.

Do that and a beginners elo will move up quick.

I would steer clear of bullet games and instead play longer games, especially when just learning.
