1...b5. Loses a pawn on the spot for no compensation.
What is Black's worst response to 1.e4?
Sort:
f5 (at the risk of agreeing with Eric Schiller.) Not only does it drop a pawn for no compensation but it weakens the King position. At least after b5 your King is still safe.
b5 definitely, if I see it, I take it...and nothing bad ever comes of it

at least f5 has the tiny caveat of weakening white's center, terrible sacrifice though considering what black gets in return

I don't think many openings can get a draw vs Kasparov as black. Looks like a winner.

1...f5
f5. After White takes, Nf6 must be played.
1...f5.
1...b5!! is a double exclam (aka BOOM equals BOOM) as we all know from that April Fool's Live Sessions.

Actually, Judit Polgar was able to beat Carlsen with that opening, as seen in the following game.

The worst response is to resign.
OK, other than resign.

I still think mine takes home the trophy, despite Carlsen's loss against Judit Polgar with it and his draw against Aronian.

Personally, I believe b5 is the worst; this idea sprang from harryz thread which can be found here -->http://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-openings/what-is-the-worst-first-move-for-white
