e4 Because I love attacking kingside
Which is better: e4 or d4?
“E4 best by test”
- Bobby Fisher
And then he opens with 1.c4 in the best game of his career.

I don't know why this made me laugh
I personally like d4 because there are less lines that black can play against. It is also incredibly versatile and the structure of d4 games are pretty similar to each other. Also, many chess grandmasters prefer d4 slightly to e4.
d4 because I love attacking kingside.There are just as many d4 lines as e4 lines but perhaps there's more similarity within d4 lines.
It is all on the time control, if it is blitz or bullet, do e4, but if it is more a slower time control like rapid, then do d4 with more calculations and more deeper logical understanding. But it is your opinion, this is just my own opinion.
I came across this and it goes against all chess wisdom!
The reason it goes against all chess wisdom is that it's drawn from the lichess database. Think of all the millions of kids playing these openings and how many of the white players are ready to see 1...d5. Unfamiliar positions get terrible results.

First time winning by black in Blitz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
