 comment Solid openings for Blitz Chess
@Beoffett Ok maybe tactical traps is a difficult one. If there were a database of blitz games that could be analysed then one could chose a set of rare openings, but I guess also that openings tend to be rare for a reason!

 comment Solid openings for Blitz Chess
Also I'd quite like to compile a specific list of openings that fall under the criteria (if that's possible) - it would give some focus to which ones to learn. Also, if anyone knows of a Blitz database (GM or otherwise) it might be an interesting place to look

 comment Solid openings for Blitz Chess
Actually I think @ire_and_curses may have a point. Often the gambit requires careful refutation (unless it's accepted), which may cause the opponent to think. I've added "quickly reach positions that make your opponent think" to the list of primary factors in the question
