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.

You forgot about the ruy lopez and indian game

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".

It's indian game after 1. d4 Nf6

@ThrillerFan didn't word it properly, but what he meant is that the Indian Game always leads to something else. The Indian Game does exist, there's just no point in including it because it will always transpose into something like the Nimzo, Bogo etc. There's no point in including just the Indian Game.

No it's not. It requires more moves. Chess.com has this stupid idea that every position has an opening name when in truth, they aren't. 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 e6 is NOT the "Sicilian Defense, French Variation". It is simply the Sicilian Defense. It can be a deferred Alapin (3.c3), a Taimanov (3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nc6), a Kan (3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 a6, along with other possibilities, like the Scheveningen or the Four Knights Sicilian.

Well, same thing goes for 1.d4 Nf6. 1.d4 Nf6 is NOT the Indian Defense. 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 Bb4 is the NIMZO-Indian Defense, 3.Nf3 Bb4+ is the BOGO-Indian Defense, 3.Nf3 b6 is the QUEEN'S Indian Defense, 2...g6 3.Nc3 d5 is the GRUNFELD Defense (a.k.a. The Grunfeld Indian Defense), 3...Bg7 is the KING'S Indian Defense, etc.

There is no just flat out "Indian" Defense. 1...Nf6 does not always even lead to any type of Indian Defense. 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nc3 d5 is the Queen's Gambit Declined. 1.d4 Nf6 2.Nf3 g6 3.Bg7 is the Torre Attack. 1.d4 Nf6 2.Bg5 (what I play as White) is the Trompowsky Attack.

Instead of arguing with someone that has played chess for 42 years, studied chess for 30 years, has played over 3600 tournament games over the board, and is rated over 2000 over the board, maybe you should listen to more experienced players instead of arguing with them.

You arguing the Existence of the Indian Defense would be like me arguing ballet moves.
