What is your top 1 opening 🤔 ✨️ in chess

Oh, it does matter what White plays.

1...d5 is only sound against 19 of White's 20 legal moves. It is no good against 1.c4.

Who cares? You've got a bunch of noobs spewing out random answers. In no way does it make it the best opening.

Against 1.e4, the moves 1...e5, 1...e6, 1...c5, and 1...c6 are equally playable, and the best one depends on each person's playing style. The best for one is not the best for someone else. The other 16 moves by Black are inferior, but if one says they prefer 1...e5 and another 1...c5 while I prefer 1...e6, I will not argue with them, because no one opening is "best" and so this whole thread is a waste of chess.com storage space!

Italien and Kings Indian Defense

oh its london and four knights

French Defence

My favorite black openings are the caro-kann and scandi against one e4! Also you can't go wrong with a good KID, or grunfeld against d4! Though I play a little bit of everything!

I like the Dutch

The scotch 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 is leading up to the hill :heart :fire :king_of_the_hill :play :pcl

1.c4 ...? Why ate you being so literal ?

From 1.c4. White can not prevent Black from going into a QGD... from your ELO I know you know that.

queens gambit

Queens Gambit, white or black1

:chesskid :hype :hype

English with White

A lot of people think this is a weird opening but b3, the NLA

I actually like the Reti's Opening

Also, I used to play the Scotch Gambit, but I think that black has enough compensation for the doubled c-pawns.
