Best opening

Thats very true

I like the Sicilian on both sides of the board, but as White I prefer the Alapin Sicilian

I need to find a book so i can learn these openings.

lol i thought so.

I would like to play a game against you and we could talk that way rated or unrated it does not matter to me if it does not matter to you.

Thank you

Which rated or unrated?

i know now lol

e4 d5 is a badass opening

e4 d5 huh you like that?

absolutely, it's a jawbreaking openning.  i love to use it to anihilate my oponents in the most satisfying way.  all other openings are boring.

To my mind, the best opening is the one you understand best.  If you can play 1.a4 and win with it, that has to be the best.  Lasker and Tal both used to play lines that were frowned upon by theory, and regularly beat the best in the world with them.  And after years of practise at this game, I can tell you that just about anything is valid in the opening, so long as you understand what it is you are trying to accomplish.  Hope that helps.

 I believe 1. e4 e5 2. Qh5 is known as the Wayward Queen Attack, and it is never, ever played anywhere near master level.

wait where can you see it at? i dont see it

Any opening that aims to control the centre squares are a good openings to me. If I play black, I usually converts it to sicillian or Queen's gambit. If my opponent insists on something else, I'll leave it to the flow of the game to decide next course of action. There's no point to know so many variations and you can't even master any of it. In tactical chess play, what is important is, you are able to counter your opponent's move. First step is to draw. Second step is to win the game. If you had blundered, then it's a different story altogether...

So the Wayward Queen Attack was used at master level... and black won.

Personally, I think the best move is 1. c4, the English opening. Here are my reasons:

1. I think Black's best chance to equalize in the opening is to be able to place and maintain a pawn on d5 without opening up the center, since White has the advantage of tempo initially. Unlike e5, d5 has natural protection from the Queen. Therefore, if White plays either 1. c4 or 1. e4, Black can't play 1... d5 without risking opening up the position, which I think favors White.

2. Another reason I prefer 1. c4 to 1. e4 is that I think the Knight shouldn't go to c3 until the c2 pawn moves. Playing 1. c4 makes this possible from the very beginning.
