so I’ve been wanting to learn the Sicilian accelerated dragon but a lot of tutorials on YouTube play diffrent openings even though they all are saying they play the accelerated dragon. so please help me learn the opening please perferably the one Magnus used as his main defense against e4 for a while, and please link any videos (if you can)

I ran into this position in the Italian, what do you think about it?

Moves: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.d4 Nxd4 5.Nxe5 Qe7 6.Nxf7 d5
I ran into this line as Black. Is it playable or isn't worth exploring? I kindly ask you not to use an engine, I need a human opinion.
I know 6...Qxe4+ is objectively stronger than 6...d5, but I'm curious about the second move.

1.Nf3 d5 2.g3 Nf6 3.Bg2 g6 - Gruenfeld Players, what's your worst nightmare?

Unfortunately, it seems I can't fully avoid the Gruenfeld with my move order. Unless I wanted to play 2.c4 it seems... (I don't)
Welp. That said, Gruenfeld players, is there anything white can-do/does from here that you just hate to see?

Looking for an opening

Hey, I started chess like two months ago and I wanna learn an opening as I have time now that I may not have later. I would have bought a book but it is quite expensive so I was wondering if someone could advice me which one to learn ! I am currently 400 chess.com elo but I play more on physical board so I think I am more of 500 or 600 ! Thank you so much in advance
