What are, in your opinion, the most despicable, hateful, annoying and hated openings you have seen played on the board and everytime you start a game of chess you really want your opponent to never ever ever play it anymore because you detest it?
My Black list (if there's a Death Note for chess openings, I would immediately write these in it):
-Sicilian Defense: One of the most annoying openings in all of chess, you have to play in the Sicilian Defense player's lines with 1.e4, I wish there is like a Sicili-lange Attack or a Sicilo gambit or something to combat this despicable pawn move.
-London System: Do London System players realize that that f4 bishop slices all winning chances in half for no chance of pawn breaks in the center? That is annoying for us (me), e6 b6 and QID player(s). And again, why is there no dubious but practically genius gambit for such boring opening?
-Petroff's Defense: A long time ago, I thought I had found the solution to every problem of this drawish opening. But at 1900-2000 level, people know how to get a boring position anyways after 3.d4. And it makes me really angry that I have to play a boring position with literal symmetry. Both sides have played the same moves on both camps. If we continue the whole game to copy each other's moves then why play chess?
-Philidor's Defense: Here, it's not about symmetry any longer, but kind of the same problems as with the Sicilian Defense. The Philidor is solid, and my ego doesn't like solid safe positions, I like risky, dangerous, aggressive positions with a big fish to hunt. When you slooowlyy move your pieces to their usual squares, you be caaaaireful when slaaaaaiding piieces one by one NO! That not chess, that's called football. I don't prefer football nor the Sicilian Defense not the Philidor.
If you had the courage of reading everything, thanks. If you didn't, you didn't have courage for facing a Sicilian or a London any longer.
