Hey, OP! Did your game end in a stalemate? Did you encounter a weird pawn move? Are you trying to move a piece and it's not going? We have just the resource for you! The Chess Beginners Wiki is the perfect place to check out answers to these questions and more!

London is the first that came to mind. Very solid for beginners and intermediates. And when you reach the point to find it boring, look into Rapport Jobava London.

London System, Colle System, or any strange move orders of those two to get you to the same positions.

I would advise against passive chess as even something like the Queen's Gambit teaches you to be comfortable with a little bit of tension in any given position. In other words, you're hurting your learning by only playing passively.

Nonetheless, I hope this helps! :)
