1.e4 or 1.d4 I like both and I'm struggling to decide

Hey, 

I like both moves (1.e4 and 1.d4), but I need to decide my main repertoire for white, so I'm struggling to pick one option. Do you really think that every one should start playing 1.e4?

Thank you!

I THINK THAT E4 IS BETTER THERE IS MORE THINGS TO PLAY

It doesn’t really matter what you play as long as it usually gets you comfortable games to your liking. If you like e4 positions, play e4. If you like d4 positions, play d4. It depends on your own taste.

To be honest, both e4 and d4 are good. E4 might be a little simpler, because the Indian Game is the most complicated opening.

I like to play e4 but I used to play d4

both are good but I THINK e4 is a little bit better.

Scotch game is the best opening ever in my opinion (please dont eat my family)

I’d strongly recommend the d4 complex, especially if you’ve played e4 for at least a year or two. Most people move through e4 to d4 and while this isn’t the case for everybody it seems the most natural and classical way to improve at chess.

Starting with 1. e4 or 1. d4 are solid for learning (1. c4 or 1. Nf3 are also good choices). If you tried both and can't decide, then maybe try taking the chess personality quiz to determine your playstyle. It also recommends openings you might be good with based on your results:

I used to really like playing 1. d4 but then actually recently switched to 1. c4, the English. Many people don't know how to face it and I have a very high win rate with it so far.

Looks to me you have a better winrate with e4.

How about 1.c4?

Both are fine. I would recommend e4 but really you can play either

depends on your style

Both are good

1. d4 is more positional

1. e4 has more aggressive possibilities like the Scotch or the King's Gambit

On a related note, I also came across this chess.com opening flowchart years ago if anyone is debating what opening to choose. This flowchart doesn't include every chess opening (sadly), but it might help those undecided on which opening to try

Why is the symbol for the grunfeld defense The BLM logo?

If you like them both, consider playing them both.

You'll become a much stronger player, in the long run, as a result of all the different structures and ideas that a "two-headed" approach will expose you to ...

Just something to consider.

nah wtf 💀💀

there's nothing wrong with it, but just why?

It should be a logo of grass or a tree, as the name Grünfeld literally means "green field".
