It depends strictly on who you're playing and what kind of strategy you think is going to get you furthest.  Obviously this is a roughly equal option to e4, but ESPECIALLY against inexperienced players who play only e4, d4 can give them a loss of equilibrium that they struggle to react to appropriately.  I know, I'm one of them.

Great opening

I'm using the Indian defenses against this opening.

????

It is only an opening, to win the game, we need tactics.

Like this opening 1.d4, because I use the trompowsky.

I wan to study this opening deeply. Before I thought it is not a good opening but when I played against a higher rating chessplayer i realize that it is a very strong opening to have a good positional advantage.

propably the best attack move

For a long time I only used the Kings pawn, but I like the Queens Pawn. I guess it is a bit tricky, but strong.

hate playing against this

I believed this is a good opening for the Caro-kann.

Not a very good move limits your oposition and your opponent oposition maby if your looking for a draw it good plan but if your looking to win do e4 and use the most of your white advantage

The opening i use mostly is King pawn, but i see no real difference in the two, by the king pawn i see directly the crossline queen bishop open for quick attack situations, and by the queen pawn is see more the defensive situations.

But with my play-level it is not that important how i open, i loose many time by not overlooking the board good and give presents to my challenger.

But these kind of discusions helps me to understand the view of others to, the computer i played always against did not give any info so thanks to you all.

the best opening

sure, but also you'll need support for the queen, to beat your opponent

I really dont know alot about chess names of openings,i played for a while then drop out of it. now i getting back to it. let see what i can learn from the best around the world. game on people..

a very good first move for beginners as well as e4

MY FAVORITE..!

I've got a much better record as black when queens pawn opening is used than when the kings pawn opening is used, my only losses have been against people with much higher ratings than me at the time.  Personally I find it a bit easier to play against than kings pawn.

this is my best opening
