The Hammerschlag is particularly effective at surrendering White's slight edge.
What Oppening is Most Effective?


play 1e4. this makes it possible that the game might become a ruy lopez which even a crowd of retards have been able to deduce is better than all other options. if its singular superiority is obvious to even retards then it must be amazingly good.

Regardless of what people evidently think of fiveofswords, to wake up a thread that is dormant for 4 months and then go on attacking him in it as though it had never gone dormant, is pretty low in my book

It appears that the thread was reawaken by the OP with:
it would be helpfull if you showed me in a board insert.
Then, the next poster attacked FoS.

There is no absolute "most effective" opening. The most effective opening is subjective; what is most effective FOR YOU. Factor in your overall ability and understanding of the game, your personal style or the style that you wish to develop, and what your opponent is (un)prepared to oppose. At your level, you probably don't need to be learning any opening more than two or three moves deep. Just learn how to develop on principles, getting your pawns and pieces out as efficiently as possible, on squares where they have the most mobility and are protected by each other. You have to crawl before you can walk, so I suggest you spend your time studying endgames FIRST. Learn how to manage a couple pieces at a time, then study middle game tactics and strategy with a few more pieces, then move on to the openings with all the pieces on the board. The openings will make a lot more sense when you understand why certain lines exist and what advantages they afford later in the game for you to exploit.
For someone seeking help with choosing openings, I usually bring up Openings for Amateurs by Pete Tamburro (2014).

I believe that it is possible to see a fair portion of the beginning of Tamburro's book by going to the Mongoose Press site. Perhaps Jace_lecraefan would also want to look at Discovering Chess Openings by GM Johm Emms (2006).
