I would rename The Desprez (1.h4) to The Depress.
It's a hard opening to master.
What about you?
I would rename the Spanish opening or the Ruy Lopez to The Turkish Delight opening. Simply because the spanish is really boring. I'd like it to have more flavor, and Turkish Delight is my favourite food.
Also, it's a very outdated name, the Ruy Lopez. My only Qualm is that people will start calling it the Turkish Opening and take it away from its roots in flavorsome candy. I think there should be a White power opening as White and a Black panther defense as Black (I'm not racist!!!!) I just think that would be kind of funny.
the kings pawn to the wtf do 95% of people go for either the fried liver or the
fools mate really really opening
But it's actually a good opening...a3 FTW
I'm thinking of switching to it. Not kidding.
All of my most memorable OTB wins were with the Black pieces... about four of them. Even nowadays, when I only play on this site, I seem to do better with Black.
Sounds like 1. a3 is the ideal opening for me.
I would also rename the Queens Gambit to something else. Hell, I can't think of another opening that is more boring than it IMO.

Haha, nice one!
The French defense to the "Freedom defense"
Lol Freedom fries FTW!
I'd like the "English" opening to be the "horse has bolted" opening
What opening would you rename, and what would you rename it?
