Comments.Text: Sounds like a reasonable plan. Anyway, if your opponents are weaker than you, pretty much anything should work. One question, though. What do you do if your opponent won't castle?

  Since your opponent is most likely to castle short, you have to choose lines where long castling (for you) is reasonable.
  
  With white I would suggest `1. e4`, and against `1... e5` the Center Game `1. e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. Qxd4 Nc6 4. Qe3`.
  
  ```
  [Title "Center Game"]
  [FEN ""]
  
  1. e4 e5 2. d4 exd4 3. Qxd4 Nc6 4. Qe3
  
  ```
  
  Against `1... c5` you can play the Open Sicilian (`2. Nf3` followed by `3. d4`).
  
  Against other black defenses you can find lines with long castling as well.
  
  With black it's more difficult. You could try the French Winawer
  
  ```
  [Title "French Winawer"]
  [FEN ""]
  
  1. e4 e6 2. d4 d5 3. Nc3 Bb4 
  
  ```
  
  against `1. e4` and the Albin Countergambit
  
  ```
  [Title "Albin Countergambit"]
  [FEN ""]
  
  1. d4 d5 2. c4 e5 3. dxe5 d4
  
  ```
  
  against `1. d4`.
