What is the best chess opening?

VIENNA :brilliant

d4 is the best

Why do you disrespect such a good opening as Orangutan

Play Bugayev or the gambit variation after e5

Some of my favorites are the Evans gambit, KID, and The Scotch Game. I used to be a e4 and only e4 player but now i mostly play d4.

d4 is boring

Birds opening 2 surprise ppl in 1 min bullet. They don't have time to think. Grob opening is complete garbage and then Sicilian is just plain annoying. Kings pawn is boring. Ruy lopez is boring. Queens pawn is boring. Guico Piano/Pianissimo Game is so old-school. (I think thats how you spell it) And then Bongcloud is just an utter disgrace to chess. Orangutang opening downright sucks. And then a4 and h4 also suck bcuz they are useless. f3 is literally the worst opening there is. then theres also the Wayward queen attack that is so annoying but surprisingly effective but is still trash bcuz you can defend it. Amar opening- JUST WHY? And imagine playing the durking opening. So yeah. I'll go with the either the birds opening or the King's pawn opening. Theres not really much too choose. Im sorry you had to hear (or read) me rattle off the worst openings in chess. I really am.
