Which of the 20 possible 1st moves is the worst.

At one point, I believed that 1.f3 or 1. ... f6 were the two worst opening moves, but I've seen some very interesting games won by players using those moves. I suppose you can play one or two really lousy moves that don't give up material and make up for it grandly. At least others can.

I'm not too sure about that, I used it on three people, and won twice and the third the guy's time ran out I can possably get the games, but it will take some time.

a4 or h4 or a5 or h5 are both very bad (Rook's Pawn Opening).
