The Smith Morra Gambit. It's so fun and it's easy to beat even strong players with it, because they don't know it

It's not the opening where the black pawn has to move 2 times to d4?

Any variant of the Indian defense (d4 nf6), on either side. As white I prefer not to play e4 over d4 (or even nf3/c4/g6) because it is somewhat more theoretical, I have never bothered to learn any opening lines, and I don't like the more positional style of play that comes from some king's pawn games (e4 e5). As black I play e6 (the french) in response to e4, but I still prefer facing d4 (and responding with nf6) because I'm bad at defending kingside pressure in the advance variation (lichess says as black I have a 2367 performance rating against d4 in the last month, against the advance variation my performance rating is only 2210).

Personally I'd recommend playing c4, d4, nf6 or g6 as white to new players. They are all just as sound as e4 but they're more intuitive, and in the case of nf6 and g6 much less common (meaning your opponents won't be as familiar with the positions reached as you are).

I always play against new players (even though I'm an intermediate) and ngl, the d4 and e4 are the best ones following by nf3 or nc3

I meant nf3 or g3 as white, idk how my brain got mixed up there.
