@CongratsUlost2me 1. e4 is really boring
Beginner? Don't use this opening - It's too theoretical! Better yet, don't learn any openings!

obviously you can't play the benko
and beginner can't either
I learn theory as I go. It doesn't matter if I know the name of the opening. I just look for the first mistake, fix it, enter the move into my ever expanding document titled Amateur Opening Repertoire (AOE).
I'm not at a rating where book moves are played out or remembered past move ten anyway, most of the time.

yeah it is
I feel if we want to play e4 you have to first go through all complex lines and learn them.(Especially Sicilian)
In d4 you just have to play on your intution and tactically.

and beginner can't play against it either! so it's an even playing ground.
learn a bit of theory at first. the rest u learn automatically bit by bit from your games (if u analyse them properly)

if you play d4 you are actually boring cause its just drawish and there is no real fire to it kind of like the london in where you get a good flexible position but thats really it. if you play E4 that just shows you really want to win as its double-edged, brute force, and pretty much there is a likely chance that it will always end as a win or a loss which is arguably better
e4 is like trying to crack open a password by brute force, while d4-c4 (not anything else) or just c4, it's like using a rainbow table to crack passwords. And if you don't know what a rainbow table is, that's the point.

exactly whats the point in trying to be lazy to get a draw when you could actually fight for something in the position. thats why life is risky, we all must learn to take chances cause even if they arent good, what kind of life would it be where we just do something that only makes it worse for us.
bruh did you even read my post, rainbow tables are infinitely better at cracking passwords than using a supercomputer brute force.
just an off-topic question: which kind of hacking attempt is avoided (mostly) by passwords longer than 14 constants?

what's Catalan
Honestly I think the catalan is garbage if black plays d4 because the c pawn will be a free pawn since the bishop is fianchettoed so it can't take back
You have clearly analyzed the catalan up to move five and stopped there.
show me a game
i play the catalan.....

Edit: Second example doesn't work immediately but it's a very common move in the Catalan to win that pawn back

Of course they can. They might not know theory but they get an extra pawn.

It’s very easy for white to fall into a passive position, and material considerations then become secondary.

the queen on c4 doesn't look very safe.
