Which opening is superior for White? Like Sicilian Defense is extremely successfull for Black.

Is it Queens Gambit for White that is superior, like Sicilian Defense for Black. What's your opinion?
Define your criteria of extremely successful?

Statistically, white has 55% vs 45% for black.

Any opening > 55% is better for white and > 45% is better for black.

A good opening book/ explorer should be able to tell you statistics of individual lines.
There exists no superior opening. Chess is a draw.
@MananAgrawal @kimdanger2 just beat an FM by resignation. She(?) was losing on the board, but the FM wasn't playing well.

According to computer analyses, Blackmar-Diemer Gambit is the best opening. According to humans trying to make a buck, it's everything under the Sun. My preference is the Scotch Gambit as it gives me positions that I like. I've tried playing the "safer" queen pawn openings, but they don't have the volatility that makes chess somewhat of a distraction.
