What have you come up with for Colle System for white and The Modern Pirc for black. I know I could look, but I want to make sure I'm reading it right and not getting it wrong. I figure you'd be able to answer far better than I could interpret from the original post. 

 

Edit: Never mind, I believe I have it. Both 1.d5 and 1...g6 against e4 appear to be Excellent, in the highest catagory. I am pleased to see this. I am not surprised to see Nf3 and d4 as two of the highest rated opening moves. If pressed to play a two games as white for the finals of the world championship, these are the two I would choose. I am not surprised to see 1.e4 as suboptimal, since it has an inherent flay by comparison to 1.d4, that you leave an intrinsically hanging pawn with your opening move. With 1.d4, you have a built in a defender from the beginning, and two pawns left to advance to the third rank to cut off the diagonals leading to f2, as opposed to only one with 1.e4. In my view, 1.d4 is inherently, just simply better.

FaceCrusher: Thanks for your inspired post. For us, it was a surprise to see that 1...g6 is statistically almost as good as Sicilian. The whole Queen's gambit is statistically bad for black and it turns out that black doesn't have a really strong answer vs. 1. d4. That's also one of reasons why QP 1. e4 is better than KP 1. e4. wink.png
