Opening, Middle, or End? Which is more important?

Clearly the opening is just getting the game started. Problem is, if you play a bad opening, your middle game will be bad.

Now say your opening is good. What if you completely flunk in the middle. Your end game is going to be terrible.

But if you have a good opening and middle game and are just terrible with the end game, guess who's going to get their pawn to the other side first?

The opening is important for a good middle game, and a good middle game is important for a good end game. If you're terrible at the end game, you will lose. But if you're really terrible at the opening, then your entire game is screwed. The middle relys on a good opening and the ending relys on a good middle. So therefore, the most important part of a chess game is The Opening.

Confused?

Excellent.

I want to learn a new language.

Please tell me which I should learn, nouns or verbs?

I have to disagree. Look at this game: 

Terrible opening, beautifully ended. Voila.

Thanks!

I want to speak it as well as those who study it seriously, and this shortcut should help a lot!

The middle game is definitely the most important.

I wonder if the Shogi world champ is as good at tactics as Carlsen is at openings.
