I kind of like to sit back and let it unfold then take my move.
I have a friend who will just kind of pound away at you with full force untill you slip up and just keep it coming.
I almost beat him too except I did not see something.
I need an opening play.
Please keep in mind that I am pretty good but have not played seriously since 4th grade (I am a 9th grade) so rusty does not even being ot describe it.
Which is why I did not see the thing that could have beaten him.
Links would be much apreciated.

A good idea is the Saemisch Variation of the Nimzo-Indian (as White). This opening goes 1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. a3 Bxc3+ 5. bxc3. Actually, any closed game (where pawns block the center of the board) will be good for this purpose. In closed games you essentially divide the board into two parts. Closed games will force your opponent to use pawns to attack. In an open game (where pawns don't block the center of the board) you can use counterplay in the center, as central play always beats wing play.

Try the Reti opening, begin with the Barcza system.
Basically you can play 1 Nf3 ....2 g3......3 Bg2.....4.0-0....
Regardless of what your opponent plays,
It's A04 to A09 in the ECO system.
( Encyclopedia of Chess openings )
Just download Winboard and the Gnu Chess engine
( for free ) and you should be able to download and view
some games and openings.
Reti isn't a very active or agressive opening system at all,
it's more a let's wait and see attitude.
But it's solid and an overagressive opponent may well hang
himself.

Try the Caro-Kann against KP (1 e4 c6) and the Queen's Indian against QP (1 d4 Nf6 2 c4 e6 3 Nf3 b6).

I agree. Bring the knights out early can really mess up a lot of offensive maneuvering. Especially if your opponent brings the Queen out.
I disagree about castling though. I think thjat it is a very overrated move, and personally, I beat my opponent who castles 95% of the time.
If you opponent is hyper aggressive with his Queen, then do a Queen for Queen swap super early. It will probably through him off his game, and it sound like you can play a queenless game well.
Hope it helps

You should get the latest edition of MCO and research the Caro Kan defense. Many a strong player has seen his aggressivness come crashing down against it.

Try openinh with Knights. Leave the pawns for a few turns.
And castle early.

Frech defense, Caro Kann, a King's Indian type defense (Pirc.)

Depends on your experience and your opponent (Personally, I would choose pawn D4 then knight F3)
