What is the best response to 1. e4?
It is a matter of taste. e5 is the most common in practice, followed by c5.
There are a number of other options that aren't really much worse in a practical sense. Most options are playable.
Yup.
"With correct play, balanced positions lead again and again to balanced positions."
Nearly any opening system is playable at our level. It just depends on which opening line you want to mangle. Just play something that "feels" reasonable.
1...e5 is the most logical and probably the best. If a perfect game of chess exists I firmly believe it begins 1. e4 e5.
But that leads to complicated positions
1...e5 is the most logical and probably the best. If a perfect game of chess exists I firmly believe it begins 1. e4 e5.
Way to go Warren!

What's your question? I just like playing e5 in response to e4 because in OTB games I can't calculate as well. So I avoid playing c5
