What Are Really Good Openings?
Sort:
"... [1 e4 e5 2 Nf3 f5] knows only two categories of chess-players: those who are for it (a handful of enthusiastic fans) and those who are against (the rest of the world). ..." - GM Paul van der Sterren (2009)

I see your flag is US, so just for example here's the chessgames website page on Fischer. It lists his most played openings ...
"... 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)
homer simpson and I are both adherents of the budapest gambit...........!!!
As White, I always use Reti opening - King's Indian Attack. Completely throws most people. Fischer used this opening but not popular with many. Love that g2 Bishop, can really do some damage.

I should of never asked this question (people and their replies these days...)
Well, consider this: >openings don't really mean much when you are starting out<. I'm an example:
I usually play f4 or b4 as a starting move. Even though these are widely considered "bad" openings I still managed to make it to make it passed 1200. And Im still improving
So my word of advice is this: pay attention to strengths, weaknesses, tactics, etc.

@LM_player f4 is not considered to be 'bad'. At the very least it's more respected than b4.
Okay
Ruy Lopez
Yes agreed
