Best opening of chess?
Sort:
😐😐😐
1.h4 THE BEST OPENING EVER!
This move does nothing to aid development and weakens White. Not recommended.

"There is no such thing as a 'best opening.' Each player should choose an opening that attracts him. Some players are looking for a gambit as White, others for Black gambits. Many players that are starting out (or have bad memories) want to avoid mainstream systems, others want dynamic openings, and others want calm positional pathways. It’s all about personal taste and personal need.
For example, if you feel you’re poor at tactics you can choose a quiet positional opening (trying to hide from your weakness and just play chess), or seek more dynamic openings that engender lots of tactics and sacrifices (this might lead to more losses but, over time, will improve your tactical skills and make you stronger)." - IM Jeremy Silman (January 28, 2016)

The July 2018 issue of Chess lists the top twenty openings compiled from a list of 1810 April games where both players were rated over 2400 Elo. One can not take position on this list too seriously because it is greatly influenced by how the openings are grouped. For example, all the Retis are grouped together, while English is separated into 1...c5, 1...e5, etc. Nevertheless, for what it is worth, some of the list entries are: 99 Retis, 99 King's Indians, 72 Caro-Kanns, 69 Slavs, 62 declined Queen's Gambits, 50 Berlin Lopezes, 49 1...e5 Englishes, 49 1...c5 Englishes, 48 Najdorf Sicilians, 46 Nimzo-Indians, 41 Catalans, 37 1...Nf6 Englishes, 36 1...e6 Englishes, 35 Classical Gruenfelds, 32 Queen's Indians, 30 Four Knights Games, and 29 Petroffes.
"... A typical way of choosing an opening repertoire is to copy the openings used by a player one admires. ... However, what is good at world-championship level is not always the best choice at lower levels of play, and it is often a good idea to choose a 'model' who is nearer your own playing strength. ..." - FM Steve Giddins (2008)

French McCutcheon
do you get that often? black and white must agree to play it so its not soo easy
by the way im searching for material for the french rubinstein, if you write an article about it feel free to drop me a link
For white I would suggest the the Meises opening for its ending structure, and you do not see it very often.
