I found another opening that’s busted. It’s called Damiano’s Defense. It begins 1. e4 e5
2. Nf3 f6 3. Nxe5 fxe5
I haven't read the whole of your post but it's interesting without a doubt and to some extent I agree with you. I have dabbled with various strategies as white when playing against the Sicilian. and the c3 Sicilian is what I would always play now. it's interesting to note though that when I face E4 has black I always always always respond with the Sicilian.

Great post, thank you. Interesting that you play both sides of the Alapin
Why do world champions play the Sissy Silion so often if some patzer says it is busted?

Now we know you're insane. Comparing the Sicilian to Damiano's defence.

It is well known by any chess player that the Damiano defence is refuted. Black's best move is 3....De7.
Indeed the Sicilian and the Damiano are very, very different, in quality of play by black and popularity.

Well done, you took 67 moves to beat someone 175 points lower rated than yourself. irrefutable proof that you have solved the Sicilian defence. LMAO

Can you post a game where you beat a higher rated player than you with the Alapin? I would like to see it.

34...Ke4 lost that game. The opening did not win it.
And yes...I know this is falling on deaf ears.

Ok to be fair, my position was completely winning out of the opening was up like 3 pawns, then blundered an exchange and a pawn for no reason, and then won when my opponent again blundered

And if Black had played 4...Nc6 instead of 4...e5 ?

@staples13, show more of your standard rapid games, since they are a lot more credible than random blitz and bullet games.
