The Top Ten
1 Sicilian Defense

Sicilian is the best opening in the world. My list of openings:

3. Italian Opening (Fried Liver Attack)

Very good opening! I try this opening and I winned 5 times in a row!

2 French Defense
3 Caro-Kann Defence

The most complex variation of the Ruy Lopez is the Rotary-Albany Gambit.
