The Yugoslav Attack against the Sicilian Dragon is supposed to be super: how come I always lose? Overrated. Giving it up.

overated:ruy lopez                                                                                  the oppening is overated boring and stupid Bb4 useless move

the sicilian is not overated it gives black counterplay which is rare since he isalmost all ways in a disaventege

 the french is criminaly underated in a 100 games people played against me

e4 e6 d4 d5 Nd2

e4 e6 d4 d5 e5

e4 e6 Nf3

e4 e6 b3

e4 e6 g3

but never the main line most white players dont stydy it

and the birds oppening is the most underated solid opening

and the italian game is serisoly underated

The KID seems overrated.  It's not bad, but it isn't exactly the best thing since sliced bread either.

I would like to see what you have against 10... dxc4 11. Re1 f5, since black seems to get 2 pieces and pawn for rook and some initiative in the main lines, and I seriously doubt white can play for advantage in such positions

its a complex position but here it what can hapen

Isn't openings overrated in general?

Caro-kann hillbilly attack is so common it is annoying and it is not even that good of an opening, the same goes for those weird sicilians for white after 1. e4 c5 Bc4?
