Because of the club name, I decided to create some chess debates here. This is the first one.

The topic: What is the best first opening move for White?

Debate away.

Best by test. e4. But, honestly, I can always get down with some classical d4 Indian… tough one. I like the reti also.

I once asked the @DanielNaroditsky Twitch Chat for Bullet tips. Of course, I was told "play an unconventional opening." The person who told me that suggested the Reti.

That's 1. Nf3 for those of you who don't know btw.

1. e4 for 700+ players, and 1. d4 for CM's, GM's, FM's, and some-titles like that.

It depends on how the person likes to play

I like d4 but hate playing against kid
