Keres scores at least three with a line in the Sicilian (the g4 pawn push), a variation in the English, and a Ruy Lopez sideline.
Who invented the most openings in chess
Sort:
Mieses also has three to his name, namely a line in the Scotch Game, a variation of the Vienna, and the hopelessly timid 1.d3 (Mieses Opening). Waiting for others to get off their butts and contribute.
Parham , who i invented the patzer opening. The exactly name is Patzer opening or Patzer-Parham opening.

Shouldn't an entire opening count for more than a variation?
Then Nimzovich ranks pretty high - two entire openings (Nimoindian and Nimzovich defence) plus substantial contributions elsewhere. (The Winawer variation of the French, for example.)
