Top ten terrifying chess openings

Here's a list of 5 most dangerous openings, am waiting for other suggestions from you guys, let's discuss one by one

1. Anti-Meran Gambit Accepted

2.The Sveshnikov in the next post

So, what do you think of the Anti-Meran Accepted?

First it is "top ten", then it is "top five" and what we get is "top two."

Crazychessplaya, I am discussing one at a time!
SO, let's discuss this fist-what do you think? 

Is white meant to be better here?

After say 13...Qe7 then what?

No, I'm talking about tactically. This could backfire on either side.

Well, I just want discussion!
So, The Anti-Meran Gambit fails to stifle much discussion.

So, the sveshnikov

Well, oddly enough, the sveshnikov is a failure, if popular response is any parameter.

That's a shame I was hoping to learn some openings. Never mind...

Ain't that the truth.

1. Nc3, and 2. Nb1 make quite a terrifying opening, regardless of black's counterplay.

Humor aside, the scandinavian is often used as a surprise opening (most folks don't prepare against it), so perhaps it might count as "terrifying" in a different sense.

Yeah, maybe not "terrifying", but "unexpected", "odd", or "different"

The Anti-Meran Gambit Accepted is basically a gambit in the semi-slav variation?

Or maybe this is a 13 year old thread that you resurrected for no reason...

True

REAL MEN... brutal, coarse, hairy, knuckle-dragging men... play the Najdorf instead.

shout out for the Danish gambit! If you don't know the theory as black it is ver scary to play against!

Danish used to haunt my dreams. Bg5+, Nf6, and d5 at the right time are all crucial.

@NaruTheBlackSwan same and btw if we are talking about scary openings Halloween Gambit would be top 1 (get it? Halloween is spooky and stuff but genuinely it’s a really scary and really good opening overall.)
