*INHALES DEEPLY* 

Caro #1? Owen’s above Open Game and Sicilian? Sicilian NINTH!?

”As you can see, I like to play really solid openings.” Like the Nimzowitsch, which you ranked THIRD???

Ahhh, never mind, you’re a new 1200 with a trollface pfp.

Okay, so the reason that I put Sicilian ninth and stuff like that is because I really hate open games because I'm not good at starting an attack and am bad at defending.

Also, the Nimzowitch is a playable opening, and so is the Caro-Kann

Yes, I am 1200, but at the time of writing, I have been gradually improving and am currently at my peak.

And I do have a trollface profile picture. Do you like it?

Sure, but ninth is… somewhat unreasonable.

With the Nimzowitsch, ranking it third is interesting as after 2. Nf3 it transposes directly to the Open Game which you ranked seventh. Sure, the Caro is playable but it CERTAINLY isn’t the best. It doesn’t deserve the number one spot, and as much as I hate to say it as a French player, I don’t think the French deserves number two.

I’m glad to hear that! I hope you stick with it and keep improving long into the future.

Yeah, I do like it. Trollface will always be just a little funny no matter how dumb the meme is.

In the Nimzowitch, after 2. Nf3 you can play other things like 2... d5. But I guess that transposes to the Scandinavian. You're right about that.

I mean, as long as number 1 is one of e5, c5, e6 or c6, I’d consider it a W. An even bigger W if the top 2 include two of those. And a massive W if the top 4 were those 4.

Can I borrow your weed because it must be some good stuff after hearing that take

I know this kid irl he is very crazy. Also why is e5 7th when Owen's is 6th?? I think the Caro is good for beginners though. Put Sicilian higher, Owen's lower, Nimzowitch lower, and this might be a little ignorant of how good it can be, but Pirc lower.

AlphaZero defense

Thank you David for calling me crazy. Also, to clarify, I meant for you guys to rank it from best to worst IN YOUR OPINION, or your favorite to least favorite. But it might have been a wording problem on my part though.

I changed the title sorry guys

Let me sincerely thank you for calling me crazy. It's not like I don't read my own forum.
