I was wondering what people think the best openings are. So I’m going to have people give me 5 or less choices, labeled from favorite to least favorite to so I can give a certain amount of points for what level you put it at. I’ll come back here regularly to edit what my data says. I’ll go first- King’s Indian defense, Pirc defense, Italian Game, King’s Indian Attack, Queen’s Indian defense. These listed are not the only options, I will add more as we go.

Caro-Kann- 10 points

Scotch

Watching grandmaster commentary seems to do nothing for my play, analyzing games helps me more. But I'm still pretty terrible.

The scotch is the only opening where I understand every move. I don't get why the ruy Lopez doesn't just lose a tempo when black pushes a pawn, and it also makes it hard to develop you other bishop just like the Italian. I know it's considered inferior but I am still drawn to the scotch

What the heck is ROL?

 

ROFL - Rolling on the Floor Laughing

ROFLMAO - Rolling on the Floor Laughing My A$$ Off

LOL - Laugh Out Loud

 

Then there are others not pertaining to laughing, like:

BRB - Be Right Back

L8R - Later

CUL8R - See You Later

 

Etc.

 

There is no ROL in the "common acronym" social media dictionary

 

Hmmm...let's see, what could ROL be?

 

Rich Old Ladies?

Rancid Old Lettuce?

Republicans Obstruct Legislature?
