The opening move always confused me, I get kinda overwhelmed with choice paralysis, which isn't helped by the fact that I barely know how to play this game so I guess I'll just go along with what everyone else wants for now until a more obvious move comes up. e4 is good with me

A thought occurs to me, if this is such a standard opening then surely someone on their team knows how to counter it, right? Why not do something completely off the wall and unexpected to throw them off a whole bunch and get them confused about what our strategy might be, then take advantage while they scramble to figure out what the hell we're doing?

All of this is fair, I'm just extremely new to this and don't really know the "standard" strategies so I'm all over the place trying to be useful and saying silly things and getting ahead of myself

So if I'm reading this right, the choices are basically between playing it safe to strengthen our defence a little bit, or doing something risky but that would possibly force them into bringing one of their important pieces out of hiding and thus creating an opening for us? I just want to be sure before I think about this some more, I'm having a lot more trouble understanding the chess notation than I really should be
