You only hurt or heal one thing at a time, and you are supposed to add the opening list to your post so the OP doesn't have to constantly edit the list. Check the second comment for an example.

Write the number that it has after the adding or subtracting has been done, so for your hurting Dutch you would put 20 (-5)

Okay, let me reword this. You can only do one of the following:

1. Heal an opening, or

2. Hurt an opening

Only one at a time. You cannot both heal an opening and hurt an opening in one post; you must choose whether you would like to heal one opening or hurt one opening.

So how this works is there's a list of openings and in your post you can either HURT an opening by giving it -5 or HEAL an opening by giving it +5. (I'm going first as example)

If an opening gets to 0 points it's out and we keep going until there's one left, which is the winner. Each opening starts on 25 points.

Rules: no posting 2 or more times in a row, wait until someone else has posted to post again

I'm not a d4 player so if I miss any big openings, do tell and I'll add them in.

Openings: (alphabetical)

No he didn't - The Ruy Lopez is NOT a 1.d4 opening, and there is no such thing as the "Indian Game". You have the King's Indian Defense, Nimzo-Indian Defense, Queen's Indian Defense, etc., but there is no such thing as just the "Indian Game".
