1. e4 or 1. d4?

Is e4 better or d4? Or if you have any other good openings for white, please post.

In my opinion it depends on rating

<1500 Play 1.e4

1500-2000 Play e4 or d4

2000+ e4, d4, c4, Nf3

Of course this applies to

classical, 1. b3 is a decent choice for all levels in shorter time controls as is 1. g3

e4 best by test

e4 if not pro player against. all though it could work.

1. Nf3

Thats good too.

e4

c4

is the english

I recently started playing it

usually I won but I know basically no theory xD

1. е4 .... 2.с3

1. d4 is best forever! If 1. e4?? c6! Black wins. 

1. d4 Nf6 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Bb4 4. e3 

1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 Nf6 4. Bg5 Be7

Very bad move!

i disagree

Too very bad move

at least its better than f3 or something

One way to decide is click here to test your chess personality, it'll tell you what opening you should play when finished the test. (This is a website in the "resource" in chess.com so it's probably save). It kind of depends on whether you like tactics or you're more of a player to play in a closed pawn structure and win your opponent with him having no counter play or something.

So you can play the queens gambit (1.d4 d5 2.c4) or play the ruy lopez (1.e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5) (I'm a prodigy too but I like queen's gambit better.) Both are opening that doesn't have much chances to get an attack, but can still be fun if you can knock your opponent out without him even having counter play! (So it kind of still don't solve you should play 1.d4 or 1.e4... but you can try both)

well, i used to play QG all the time, but now i am studying the scotch game, so i play e4
