Chess openings today!?

Hello community!

I want to start with the basic studies of the opening in chess. My idea is todays opening in chess. What are the best openings and what are the most difficult openings. Are there any unusual openings that nobody plays and how much are they good. At last i want to hear about opening that are "crazy" if we can say that an opening is crazy.

1. Good openings
2. Rare openings that maybe are difficult or to neutral to have winning chances.
3. Unusual openings

I hope you guys can help me with that. If there is maybe a link were i can see all openings and players that are best in this openings that would be also nice. Also i would love to hear for the opening you write me the best black defense to this opening.

I would also like to know for each opening what you write who is the player who masters it the most or is the best at it.

I thank you in advance!

Best
Denis

Birds opening is fun

I always wonder why people are so obsessed with openings. At your level of play all openings are equally good. If you do not believe that, then take any opening you think is bad, take the good side of that and play it against Stockfish. If you win, you prove the opening is bad. If you lose it is proven that the opening is good.

The most you can get out of an opening is an advantage of 1 pawn. Can you convert an advantage of 1 pawn to a win? If your answer is no, then that indicates you should first work on other skills before taking on openings.

Kasparov said a player should study openings only after he became a grandmaster.

I agree with tpr.

If there's one thing computer chess can teach humans, it' that the best way to play and learn chess is backwards. Endganes, then middlegame tactics and strategy, then openings

@tpr
I love your 2nd paragraph. It just makes so much sense.

1 question:
Assuming your 2nd paragraph as absolute truth - I can't not come to the conclusion that gambit openings are the ones that beginner players, like my self, should play. But it doesn't feel right. What are your thoughts?
