    I've been playing chess for a few years now, and find that I like the King pawn opening 1. e4.   This move to have a varity of great defenses.  So, my question is what 1. e4 opening is your favorite and why?

    It is also my favorite because it opens up one of the bishops and the queen.

    1.b3 is my favourite, but if I had to choose a line involving 1.e4 I'd go with the Bishop's Gambit (1...e5 2.f4 ef4 3.Bc4).

    I don't usually play 1 e4, but when I do these are the openings that I use most often:

    1 e4 e5  2 Nf3 Nc6  3 d4 ed  4 Bc4

    1 e4 e5  2 Nf3 Nf6  3 d4

    1 e4 c5  2 c3

    1 e4 c6  2 d4 d5  3 Nc3 de  4 Bc4

    1 e4 e6  2 d4 d5  3 c4 de  4 Nc3

    1 e4 d6  2 d4 Nf6  3 Nc3 g6  4 f4

    The Ruy Lopez is always great when I play White.

    The ones I see people play the most here are the Scandinavian Defense, French Defense, Sicilian Defense, and Ruy Lopez: Berlin Defense.

    As white, I open with 1.d4, but as black, I LOVE the sicilian accelerated dragon. I seem to have great success with it.

    As white d4 all the way, I love playing against the KID.

    As black typically I experiment with the Sicilian.

    yes 1e4 is my fav opening too.

    reason being it activates both queen and bishop. and controls the centre.
