I blame the advent of large chess databases and ever stronger chess engines for giving amateurs the confidence to think they know what they're talking about even when faced with overwhelming evidence to the contrary.

Everyone has got an opinion but no one knows why.

I personally like b2-b4, very sharp opening. You either win or loose draws are rare in b4.
