Hello and welcome to Nykreem's Corner!
Today I'm happy to announce that I finished my journey across the multiverse to find out the top 10 coolest looking Openings in Chess.
( That's Me!)
I would love to talk about my journey, But that will make for another blog, Now let's get Right into it!
10. The Nimzo-Indian
The Legendary Nimzo-Indian has to gain a spot in this list, One of the most popular at the GM level and a very classy response to 1.d4, It gives Complete control on the centre, but all the pieces are ready to fire in the best looking squares, Overall this very famous Opening is played at all levels.
I remeber that I once had an opening Book with all the openings that time carved into It's Unforgettable beauty and playing style, guess which was the first!
9. the e6 Caro-Kann
Take a look at this position from white's perspective: How could you not be so Satisfied and filled with Inner peace as all your pieces will move perfectly while Black is just forever Intangled and will
escape his faith.
From a positional POV this would be the first on the list, as It is so simple and deep at the same time. Wonderful!
8. The English Attack
It's not a good opening list until you see an English Attack, This would comfortably take the 1. spot If there wasn't the light colored bishop, But still very fasionable and intresting to play, anyday!
We can remember many champions clashing in this line, The Great Victories And losses that signed their name in the history books.
One of the Best-by-Test openings against the Sicilian.
7. The Reti
We all know it.
We all love it.
The most aestethic 1st move in chess.
Class, Style and Iron reputation, It's the Reti!
This can Evolve into many diffrent setups so you can always catch your opponent off guard.
6. Mainline French
Now we are starting to see the real deals!
At an Aesthetic level its 10/10 and to play it it's 10/10
This shows how strong these openings are, not only flashy, This variation has some nasty f5 ideas and an Iron advantage, good way start!
5. No Bad bishop StoneWall
The no bad Bishop stone wall closes the gap, when your facing this position as black you see a mirage, the most harmonius bind you have ever seen, and it is! with it's simple play and attacking chances This remedy to the stonewall makes it's way to the top 5.
What an achievement for what once was the dubious stonewall.
4. Bongcloud
Sorry, But as a cultural chess player I had to put this in.
3. Benko Gambit accepted
Going straight into the podium there's the Benko gambit, what's better than getting all pieces into their best squares and have a strong counterplay for just a pawn?
This Kasparov-aprovved opening has been the star of Must-Win Players for over a decade!
Now tell me if that's cool.
2. Macrozy Bind
Taking 2nd place in the coolest openings and 1st in Best opening Binds comes The astounding Macrozy Bind, One of the most respected openings of all time, closes down the centre with an unbreakable wall.
One of my favorite Blitz Openings.
1. The Dragon
All the others we're pretty cool, But none could compare to The Sicilian Dragon!
The harmony of a perfect attack just won this List, and my heart, as it is one of my favorite
Openings to play.
Thank you everyone and see you in the next one!
