I ranked all 20 responses to e4 for black

this does

I feel as if the Italian is severely underrated. Not to mention the gambits and other openings inside it such as the evans or the two knights scotch

It’s decent but only the fried liver, the rest are just garbage compared to the vienna

Welp, this is our 1st disagreement. How is the Vienna better than the Scotch or Ruy Lopez.

Sure buddy. Evans Gambit is awesome

ah yes, garbage

(Good position)

compared to the Vienna Gambit

(Instant equalization)

Btw Bricks is only talking about the Vienna Gambit, that’s the only line Gotham recommends

Yes, not to mention the slow Italian and the evans gambit fr fr fr

I don’t want to argue with people who restate stuff I’ve already refuted

You’ve never refuted anything

You can’t just say something then say it’s refuted. “Ruy Lopez is Trash”

“I said it so it’s refuted.”

You can’t do that. Only Sampson can

Black can just turn the Vienna into Petrov's Defense.

I second this statement (I said it so it’s true)

You refuted the Ruy Lopez? (I missd the last 20 pages so if you did I'm curious how.)

lol Nf3 was the wrong move

Yes I’m also quite curious on how The Ruy Lopez and the Sicilian were refuted by ScrumptiousBricks. An average Gotham Stan.

Yes definitely refuted

In the position shown for the Vienna (where white stops it from turning into Petroff's Defense) black reaches full equality. And the Jaenisch Gambit does not refute the Ruy Lopez at all.

And White can quickly castle. Or:

Or:

Giving a nice outpost for white's Knight. Ruy Lopez is way better than the Vienna.

Good antidote 👍

Do you people assume everyone who's in the minority on things is trolling?
