Sort:
i like the cambridge springs and the english as well
I think the cambridge also belongs to Queens gambit
so does the slav then as they are both defences against the QG
Cambridge springs is qgd, slav is not.
slav is
No, slav does not require e6. Qgd does.
the pirc is garbage.
In no particular order:
1.Leningrad Dutch
2.Manhattan Gambit
3.Queen's Gambit
4.Paulsen Sicilian
5.Najdorf
6.Nimzo-Larsen Attack
7.Van Geet
8.1...b6 against 1.e4
9.Queen's Indian
10.King's English (1.c4,e5! with a hypermodern vs. classical struggle ripe with imbalances)
Honorable mention goes to the Ruy Lopez where black plays a6-b5 then plays Bc5 as black and the Ruy Lopez itself as white whenever I'm in an e4 mood.
Another honorable mention the the Alekhine's Defense. That's a great opening.
I thought the Most popular was the question
1. Evans gambit fully accepted.
2. Black knights tango.
3. Ruy Lopez main Line
4. Rut Lopez Schliemann.
5. Smith Morra gambit accepted.
6. Möller Attack
7. Sicilian dragon
8. Rosolimo.
9. Bayonett attack Kings indian.
10. Sicilian Najdorf
Maybe i missed something,( have not had my morning coffee) but would that not depend on a players ratings for example under 2200 ?

Then play the Grand Prix, crushes the sicilian
