Hello Everyone do any of you know what the worst opening for white is?(Not technically worst but famous)

Is that(Named:Bongcloud Attack) a bad move? Yes. It blocks The Bishop and Queen(Which the e4 move let out) and prevents castling. Then Why did GM Hikaru Nakamura play it? To challenge himself. On March 15, 2021 GM Magnus Carlsen played the attack in the Magnus Carlsen Invitational against GM Hikaru Nakamura who reponded with a Double Bongcloud:

As you can see, not only is it a double Bongcloud, It is the Hotbox Variation witch resulte in a draw by Three-fold Repition. Why would they play like that? Because both of them had already qualified for the final knockout stage and who won and lost wouldn't have mattered(much).

Should you play the Bongcloud? I don't know, but my suggestion is on't play it unless you're sure you'll win, otherwise , you'll probably lose.
