What is your top 1 opening 🤔 ✨️ in chess

Do the Slav Defense against the Queen's Gambit as the declined variation would block in your light-squared bishop

London is also good

Caro kan ofc

Italian game

... Part 2 of my comment ig.

11. Queens gambit declined

(Don't bully me for saying this:womp womp)

12. Ruy lopez

13.Caro-Kann defense

14. SCANDINAVIAN defense

15.ruy lopez, Morphy defense, exchange

I only play the Sokolsky opening now with white. Being a very average, intermediate and occasional social player I play B4 which is a weapon against higher ranked opponents for draw opportunities due to the element of surprise and the ability to play positional chess from move 1 rather than book move traditional openings which strong players knows back to front inside out as shown endlessly above

But not the Sokolsky!!

Having drawn with a chess coach it proves the theory😊😊

The Polish opening is one of the best there ever is

Agreed. It is a weapon if you play the newest improved version. Most chess players don’t see it often and there is excellent structure playing white with it if you follow the newest version theory.

The Göring Gambit
