What is the best chess opening?

What is everyone's favourite opening to play 

Best and favourite are not the same. Many people favour subpar openings for fun or to evade theory.

There are several best openings. 1 e4 or 1 d4 are equally good.
1 e4 e5, 1 e4 c5, 1 d4 d5, 1 d4 Nf6 are equally good.

The best opening even after hundreds of years is probably still 1. e4 e5.

However, anyone playing 1. e4 has to be prepared that your opponent will play a variety of other openings in reply, as of his own prefered choice. Like I do play the French against 1. e4, while others have other ideas.

E5 D4 E5 D5

My favourite opening to play against a lower rated opponent is bongcloud and against a higher rated opponent I play Vienna with white and sicillian with black.

It is laughable that everyone talks about playing the Bongcloud, but yet I never see 1.e4 e6 2.Ke2 in any game that I ever play Black on here!

I like the London system (I'm a beginner) it just makes my king feel secure in a fortress.

I use Nf3 when I am white and c5 when I am black

Post 11 is total horsebleep!

A 1484 player calling legitimate openings garbage? I dare this person to come to my neck of the woods, in person, and I will take the Black side of the Dutch with a time control of Game in 90 minutes with a 30 second increment and play him $1000 per game, minimum 10 games!

Scotch game , Italian game and Queen's Gambit

++ That says nothing about the Dutch.
Nakamura might play the Bongcloud against you on your terms.

in my Opinion I think it the King's indian and the Queen's gambit .

The london system is a good opening in chess to

E5

there is only one opening that will give you an advantage due to most players not knowing the lines to play against it……that’s b4

The Italian Game/Giuco Piano Or the Four Knights Game.

Against low rated players all my pawns are wandering slowly forward.

If third (or sixth) is filled (or earlier), myself starts an attack ;-)
