@drmrboss, as far as I know, Lc0 most likely likes 1.d4 due to the Berlin. That's what AlphaZero preferred and I assume they both would play the same thing as they are both neural net engines.
I agreed. Berlin is one of the main reason she dont like playing 1. e4. ( Too drawish in Berlin)
Drawish even for Stockfish and Leela? What if the opposing engine is 200 points below? Will the Berlin still be a draw?

Opening books improve +50 to +100 elo generally (depends on how deep your book lines is).
Berlin lines can narrow elo difference from -200 to -100. Chess is more drawish in symmetrical pawn structures lines (opening).
What is the best opening move according to engines?
EDIT: Seriously, no troll posts please
The engines and NNs prefer e4, d4, c4, and Nf3. The order of which it prefers can change depending on the depth. Lc0 prefers d4 over e4 for 2 reasons: the Berlin (as already mentioned) and the Sicilian (where both Lc0 and AlphaZero handled it poorly - by engine standards - from both sides).
The only value this provides is that playing anything other than those 4 moves will result in giving Black better chances out of the opening (from an objective standpoint - practicality is another topic entirely).
stockfish with some depth:
french is best
@st0ckfish with no depth:
1.a3
@st0ckfish with no depth:
1.a3
1.a4 is actually much better, allows the tower to get out early 
St0ckfish prefers 1. f4 f5 2. Kf2 Kf7 3. Ke3 Ke6 4. Kd4#
According to my newest version of Stockfish NNUE, the supposed most powerful chess engine, this is the best opening.

you're 3 months late... but cool!
It is d4. This is Alpha Zero's analysis which is the strongest in the world
There is no best E4 or D4 i like E4 better but D4 is also good
According to the strongest computer in the world there is a difference and d4 is preferred. This is a fact.
I know that stockfish on lichess seems to prefer the opening move 1.c4 overall, the English opening.

Bro nobody cares what you want people to say. We already saw you saying this in the thread opening post, what are you the ****ing principal? Do you honestly think anyone is going to look at that and say "hurr, guess I better not make a troll post then".
I suppose you're going to block me from posting in the thread now, good joke.
