c4 as white: genius or mistake

You got d4 c4 pawns with different move order... and " 1 c4 Nf3 2 d4 " has as many continuation as an india opening..
Opening usually means the position you reach but not the move order you make.
No opening is a mistake if you know how to play with it to your advantage.
Of course, some may be more advantageous than others...
1.c4 is the best kept anti-sicilian secret in chess.
A neat opening trap in the English.

Kind of an "if you can't beat em, join em" solution.
For me this has usually been a mistake in the past because, I am not enough of an aggressive attacker( it is too slow for development and castling, for my style), but I would say it was genius for Fischer...
Here's another neat opening trap in the English:

Unless you are above 2000, you have no style
Why do you insist a lower rated player can't have a preference for the type of opening they choose, or the positions that ensue as a game progresses? To me, you are basically saying that lower rated players aren't educated enough to know what they prefer or how to pursue it. This is probably true of players below 1300 or 1400, but by then some of the more intelligent ones can decide between open games with sharp fights or closed games with positional play.
I will atleast acknowledge that some players' styles will change as they progress, gaining understanding and confidence, but who's to say that a guy who learns to calculate awesome attacks, prefers it to watching his opponent writhe, while trying cope with having to abandon his preferred attacking style, while he enjoys his positional prophylaxis.
Well, looks like you've got some training to do!
Funny if you take it in a satirical way. Lots of beginner books point out the qualities of good moves, but it's all rather meaningless to the student who can't put it in context with when those same moves are bad, or when other moves are also good.
They say e4 is best because it releases the queen and bishop.
Then they say move your knight second... and don't move your queen at all haha.
Anyway I guess that's why it's always said that playing is more useful than book reading as you're starting out.

Yeah, I've always thought that was funny too. 
c4 is not a bad move but e4 or d4 is better
1.c4 is a huge blunder guys
I'll research main lines with c4 and show them
Ah, I was hoping for that.
