One of the best fun, solid, and aggressive openings is the King's Gambit. It's a classic opening that starts with 1.e4 e5 2.f4. This opening is known for its aggressive nature and has been played by many chess legends Starbucks Partner Hours login

Give me a break! The Kings Gambit is not solid!

The English Opening is flexible and allows White to control the center indirectly, often leading to slower, strategic play. It’s a great choice if you want to avoid the heavily analyzed 1. e4 lines and play something more offbeat but still very strong.

for a black repertoire - 
d4 c4 -> QGA or slav 
e4 -> four knights sicilian or classical sicilian

for white - 
I'm still trying to figure it out. 
Maybe the Van Geet is the best thing I've found so far. I also like the Vienna game.

It's hard to find an opening that satisfies all those criteria at the same time. But I'd say the Queen's Gambit fits the bill ...

For White, I would recommend the Scotch Gambit. Don't let the name fool you - it won't get shut down simply because Black knows their theory. You get a lot of attacking chances and a pleasant position even if Black knows what to do. Have a look through my games as White.

For Black, I'm still settling on opening choices. I quite enjoy playing the Sicilian Taimanov, as you get to fiancheto the light-squared Bishop on b7 and threaten mate if they castle kingside. Otherwise, you get easy breaks in the centre with d5 in the middlegame. 2 ... e6 is also graet against an early Bc4 which happens a lot at lower levels, since Sicilians aren't a mainstay until higher up the rating foodchain.
