Best center for white

e4 d4, d4 c4 or e4 f4? Which is best against hypermodern openings?

let's define what hypermodern means first. it is the CONTROLLING of center squares with pieces on the flanks. while classical chess means the OCCUPATION of center squares with pawns. e4 d4 would control c5, e5, d5, and f5. no matter how you slice it as black in a hypermodern defense he must eventually contest the center with pawns of his own or lock the center so it is of no use to either player and attack on the flanks. examples of this would be the KID, the chezc Benoni, or the English Bottvinik defense.

the halloween gambit gives some good control.
