best shot

Strongest possible try

Best shot is someone's strongest or most sincere attempt at something: Give it your best shot.

The phrase acknowledges that success isn't guaranteed—you're doing what you can with what you have.

It also refers to the most favorable opportunity: This is our best shot at winning the championship.
