Adverbs of degree

On my quest to find an opening that anyone can play to dominate, I crafted a guiding tier list that you can use to absolutely crush everybody.

Adverbs of manner

I thought it was a stupid question to even ask, but I found a surprisingly clear answer.

Basic passive voice

There is one glorious gambit that was mentioned by Grandmaster Hikaru Nakamura and Levi.

It's also the opening that AlphaZero, one of the strongest chess computers of all time is playing.

If you want to achieve a position that is stronger than Arnold Schwarzenegger's massive arms, wearing full diamond armor and a diamond sword enchanted with sharpness 3, you should try the Evans Gambit.

There's only one problem with this opening.

Before I explain the issue, let me explain why you should play it anyway.

You start the game with E4, Knight F3 attacking the pawn, they defend it and you play Bishop to C4.

They develop their Bishop too and you sacrifice your pawn.

The best and most common moves for Black are Bishop takes.

Now you attack the center, ready to castle and having a crushing space advantage that will slowly turn into a devastating difficulty for your opponent.

Don't get me wrong, you should definitely study this opening.

Hikaru, Levi and AlphaZero can not be wrong all at the same time.

But this opening requires Black to play these specific moves.

They're quite common moves and you might see them a lot, but every other game they might play something else.

We open the game with E4, hoping that we can pull off the Evans Gambit.

The first thing you do is hit the subscribe button.

After that you play the French Defense Advance Variation.

Hikaru played this opening until he reached 2300.

Take over the center and the most common move for Black is D5.

Now you push your E pawn, again leaving you with a space advantage allowing you to develop your piece as well.

Although your opponent might play something like C6 instead of E6, which we will cover next, I would definitely say this is an A tier opening.

Not as useful as the Evans Gambit, but probably the easiest and best thing you can do against E6.

Another absolute S tier opening you should 100% know.

You can use this opening as both White and Black.

It's an S tier response to E4, the most common opening move.

But it's also good to know this opening is White in case your opponent uses the Karokan Defense.

E4 C6 and White plays D4 to which Black responds D5.

There are multiple variations White can play, such as the Advance and Exchange variation.

It's really worth studying both of them and maybe also the Knight C3 variation.

Since you want to play this opening as White and Black.

The next opening is even higher than S tier.

Pretty much nobody is playing this opening at all.

Only one time in chess history somebody played this opening against Magnus Carlsen and he drawed the game in 6 moves.

The greatest player of all time drawed the game in 6 moves because he didn't want to face this opening.

I'm talking about the legendary Nakamura Carlsen double Bon Cloud attack.

Hikaru and Carlsen played this as a joke and drawed the game.

Let me show you how to play against C5 because the Bon Cloud is trash.

As White you kind of want to learn the Knight F3 variation so you know how to play against it.

But if you're Black, just play the Karo-Kan against E4 instead.

The Sicilian is cool but not that common.

The next opening is more likely to happen.

If they play D5, you take and they take with the Queen.

If Black plays D5 just remember these moves and continue with logical save moves that look good.

But as Black I would still recommend you play the Karo-Kan.

Now which one should you actually play as White and Black?

As White, you open the game with E4 and try to pull off the Evans Gambit.

If they play E6, you play the French Advance.

If they play D5, you take and attack the Queen.

If they play anything else, they're probably an idiot anyway and you can beat them with sheer brain power.

As Black, you play Karo-Kan against E4 and the King's Indian defense against anything else.

The King's Indian is basically the easiest way to have a solid response to almost everything White can do.

What if they play E5, but the Evans Gambit is not possible?

This is the last Infinity Stone we need to genuinely master the opening.

Obviously you can not learn every single opening, there are hundreds.

Also by the way don't learn all these openings at once.

Just pick one that you like and then keep learning the other ones at your own speed.

If you go for the glorious and greatest of all Evans Gambit but they play something else, don't worry, they can't really stop you if you know your moves.
