e4

GreatoduTheFirst

e4 is much faster than d4 though there is more options for black

AteivisM

For newbie e4, for others you can choose what you want. That depends which opening are you playing.

SavageOppress

D4.

g3 is better than all of these not so agressive openings even I play e4 a lot

DonkentTheDude123

i don't really mind i play both

Lechasis

e4 is better for me because there are more options and gambits after 1 e4.

If I have White, it actually depends on my mood. I can do Ruy Lopez, or Queen's Gambit, and I'm thinking of starting to do KIA just for variety.

Also, Stockfish 16 give btter advantage for white after 1.e4

d4 obv

I like both :/

KallioChess

D4, because there's less options for black. It's generally more positional, but there are some agressive D4 openings, like Blackmar-Diemer gambit and Jobava London.

Feuervogel ist so....aber...I've read somewhere that the Bird opening is actually named after a person named Bird.
