Openings that lead to opposite side castling I really enjoy opposite side castling positions where I'm able to launch a kingside/queenside pawn storm and put my opponent under pressure. For this reason, I actually enjoy the Exchange French as Black, and I also want to take up the Scandinavian Defense.
Is there a list of chess openings that commonly lead to opposite side castlings?
Finding out the entire list of common openings is practically impossible. Many players often play by their own strengths, and one opening someone plays might have queenside castling, while others might not, vice versa. That being said, the most common openings and deviations from these are Sicilian, and queens pawn d4 openings. There is no way to accurately predict what a player chooses in a position.
If you enjoy opposite castling, you should wait till your opponent castles, or if you are sure they will not castle in a certain direction then you can also do so.
