TremaniSunChild (~1 hour ago): "Against what kind of opposition? What strength? What time control? If I played a thousand 1300 to 1500s in regular blitz (Game/5) , I could play the Anderssen or The Vienna or the King's Gambit, and likely score at least 80%!"

Just look at statistics from master games - it's roughly equal for white and black.
Just look at the statistics from my games. out of 581 games White wins 68 % black wins 26% and there is a draw 6%. That is a score of 71%. No other opening is capable of scoring 71%.
