i love how class players are like "you can play this until 2k" in an opening as sound as the vienna lmao. Its like if you dress your opinion with precision it has more authority. 
People told me similar stuff with 1.b4 ages ago

You can obviously play Vienna for a long time. But honestly at 2k you might want to add something else to your repertoire as The Vienna ( especially the Gotham f4 ) gets less effective

pleewo

I have nothing against the standard Nc3, Bc4, d3, f4, Nf3 tho

5/10. You look up mediocre in the dictionary and the Vienna pops up. It’s better than the Ponziani, Konstantin, Philidor, and Leonardis, but worse than the Spanish, Italian, Scotch, Petrov’s, and Bishop’s.

Nothing special. Mediocre, equal opening.

Whose opinion i can't handle? Gotham? Or u? If u say about Gotham,then u are wrong because almost 99% of coaches disagree with him and if u talk about ur opinion, then if i am not wrong u said in another forum post that u know nothing about chess but just repeat gotham's words like a parrot

You shouldn't disrespect @ScrumptiousBricks. They managed to refute the Sicilian and Ruy Lopez, something unachieved by top GMs and engines.

10/10 literally the best opening after 1. e4 e5, especially if you follow Gotham’s videos

black equalized according to the engine

it’s move 3

3.Bc4 is mildly better - MILDLY!

I'd give 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.Bc4 or 1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.Bc4 about a 4. 2.Nf3 is clearly best.

1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nf6 3.f4 gets a 2 for reasons already mentioned.

1.e4 e5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.f4 gets a negative 5!

I would love to play bc4 after falkbeer variation if there is some refutation or good line against Nxe4....

Really? It transposes into the bishops opening a lot too.

I would say 7/10 for what I know of it so far.

For people under 1600 9/10 99% take people out of theory if you know you're lines you're gonna crush people Gambit op system good my fav weapon for white (70% win rate for me) For people over 1600 6/10 playable kinda passive but not losing
