worst openings

what are the worst openings to avoid?

The worst of all book openings: 1. f3 e5 2. g4 (because black moves their queen to the other end)

Someone sent a team link in #2, you may wish to check that **forum post** for the context.

If the purpose of this post is to advertise your team here, surely it's a bad opening in this discussion. I don't see anything relevant to this discussion on your team description.

@WorthwhileConquest28 its like the fools mate with black

Fool's mate - the fastest possible way to end a chess game with checkmate

1.d4 (Queen's Pawn Game) - it can actually be a pretty solid opening but only maniacs would play this...

Russian Game (Petrov Defense) - just don't

Any opening that involves bringing out the queen too early - no, unless you want to quickly end an absolute beginner

it is not the worst but It is close (+10 by move 4)

I have the same opinion about early queen attacks

@Akarsh_2010, while white developed a lot of pieces black, has only knight targeting the center and can be easily forced to move

Oh God, a horrible opening based on luck
