    To be sure e4 is the best first move if you know how to play it. There are 20 possible first moves for white. Then there are 20 possible first moves for black for each of the 20 first moves for white. This totals 400 possible first move openings. Take your pick on how to respond to e4 or any of the 19 other possible first moves for white. There are about 160,000 two moves in chess and about 64,000,000 possible three moves. There are eight ways to produce a two move check mate. Can you find them?

    Play what you know most, does not matter if you play your move with the right or left hand, no handicap here unless the hand does not play what the mind thinks.
