Which is the best chess opening


If you want to be serious, it's Sicilian defense. But which opening you choose doesn't really matter as long as you have a good understand of the opening and the opening isn't out right terrible you're fine. (Unless you're a computer trying to beat other computer)

Some people play KG and Sicilian. It is called schizophrenia. Play open games as Black or White until you reach 2000.
The best opening is obviously the King crab
Very powerful, results in checkmate in 60 moves.
There is no best openings. Both white and black usually have a choice of objectively equivalent moves.

There is no such thing as a “best opening.”
That we cannot know until chess is solved.

there's no best opening. if everyone played the same opening, that would take the joy out of chess
The thing about strategies in games is that they are not all equal and they don't have to be equal.
And there are many many many more people playing the Ruy-lopez then the grob which indicates that the Ruy-lopez is a better opening.
Fight me!

of course some openings are "better" than others, but there is still a plethora of sound openings you can choose from.
I'm curious, When you say "better" do you mean "objectively" or "subjectively"?

I mean objectively. like the italian game is objectively better than the bongcloud, if you disagree you're dumb. other than those few downright bad openings, it is all based on subjective taste.
Some are objectively better than others exactly.
Subjective taste matters for humans but not computers.
