Don't worry guys, all these comment and replies has played against GMs countless times over the board 🙂 their opinion matter
Tier list is for gm level sirs
The Polish is the best opening. Change my mind.
BRUH HOW IS QUEENS GAMBIT NOT LEGENDARY
We need Kasparov, Kramnik and Magnus to do this 🙂
Where’s the Vienna??
I like the hyperaccelerated dragon, it has the coolest name
Stafford gambit
hey you should play 5d chess
The other guy what totally ignored…again.
No way Queen's Gambit is not legendary! 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃
Ruy Lopez legendary and Queen's Gambit is not! Pufffffff
"Top of Garbage" so does that mean it is the best opening among the garbage or the worst one?
I hate the Scandinavian so much it makes me irrationally angry every time I play against it. I take it as an insult to not just my intelligence, but my value as a human being. This is the sound of me screaming in rage when I see the 1.d5 move “AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH” then I take a deep breath before I continue, “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH” usually by this point it’s move 15-20 and I have finished screaming. I am now crying and shaking, the tears streaming down my beet red face burn my eyes like sea water. The game ends. Sometimes I’ve won, sometimes I’ve lost. I take a break from chess afterwards. I hate the Scandinavian.
Lowkey disappointed that the Queen's gambit picture wasn't Botez.
lets agree to agree
Nimzo-Indian Defense?
I only know 1.e4
You forgot the Trompowsky atack! Magnus Carsen plays it some times…
Disapointed to not seeing him ranking modern defense, french sicilian and evans gambit and even as a joke scolar mate haha
7:55 “Do you speak bRaZiLiAn”
Yes, because that's the only thing people pay taxes for.
1:45 Levy is coming down from a dmt trip
Hikaru: so what do you think Levy?
Levy: blah blah blah…blah blah
Hikaru: I’d have to disagree…
Levy: Yes, yes… I see the light now, please forgive me 😔
19:48 Hikaru showing who's the boss
Colle gang
1 john didnt invent the scandi
2 he is the best teacher on YouTube (to me)
3 i just wanted to say that.
Drinking game: Take a shot every time Hikaru says agree.
Didn't AlphaZero crush with the Scandinavian?
French Sicilian
where tf the evans gambit tho
You have to have a defined side if you're going to say whether an opening is good or not… You can't say both lmao! If it's good for one side, then it's going to be bad for the other…
Am I not seeing it, or did they not include the Rossolimo?
???????????????????????????? QueensGambit ???????????????????????????????????
levy’s opinion doesn’t matter
It's pronounced Jokoh, not Jukoh, for God sake… And it's Peerts not Perk.
If you don't agree then you're garbage. If Hikaru can with it then you can one day. Lol
Where is morphy defense ?
The Moment a pro say Queens gambit is Not legent but najdorf is Tatall noob
When you do this for lower level players, can you break it down by black/white openings too, to make it easier to understand the rankings list? i.e. do all the white openings first, then all the black openings?
Polish is d4 b5
1b4 ist urang utan or sokolski in germany
I can see Levi hoping hikari agrees with him when new opening is being discussed
Hikaru you should play 5D chess
All the openings I play are unbreakable💪
Hikaru ceo of "I kind of agree"
You forgot Rossolimo
You forgot the sveshnikov
Ruy Lopez is legendary number 1, thank you Hikaru for having good taste.
Ah yes now i remember all the openings Kappa
Hikaru you are MAN!
What about Gedult's opening as white and as black and what about BongCloud opening and also the Grob opening, Anderssen's opening?
