Why did white resign? Nd4 Qxd5 Rxa6 Rxa6 Qxa6 looks about even..

It's totally playable for white. Actually, I'd rather play white.

I don't agree with you.

White has some advantage after 30.Rh4. Oh, and of course I have no idea why he resigned.

c4 is better than both d4 and e4.

why c4 is better than 1.e4. very simple. 1.c4 is on the same side as 1.d4 the king of all openings. why 1.Nf3 is better than 1. e4 . because it transposes to 1. c4 and 1.d4 very often. (1.nf3 d5 d4 or 1.nf3 nf6 d4/c4 or 1.nf3 c5 c4)Tongue Out

Why did you even post these games here? They prove nothing. Actually, nothing can be proven in d4 against e4 quarell untill chess will be solved.

I have been testing e4 vs d4 in my private lab, using original research of my own. Testing has been exhausting, but rewarding, as I think I can solve the quarrel.

1. e4 is best by test. (it is even better than 1. P-K4)

just proving that white's early initiative can be fended off. Only the later aspects mean stuff. That is, if you don't play stuff like 2.Nf3 a6

There's your mistake, right there.

It's "quod erat demonstrandum"

Excellent !!! Laughing

e4 and d4, both very very fine openings.

None of them will be refuted in the near future, I am sure.

Avatar of PAMetalBoss

Both d4 and e4 are perfectly fine opening moves.

Yeah real simple!  Yeah c4 is on the same side as d4.

Great, list all of the d4 openings and their variations and show us how it is done. I would say it will take you a life time to finish but it will not even take a day to finish and prove. 

Anyway you figured something out that hundreds of GM's have yet to figure out. The end of playing 1 e4 has ran its course.

Extra, extra read all about it. "1.Nf3 is better than 1. e4 "  another breaking story. Have to say glad to hear that news. I used to play at a site where players hated e4 openings( the opposite of here). Guess which opening move i played most often? Did i win several games with it? No .... I won a ton of games and consecutively.

I play my opponents. If i do my home on opponents in a tournament and i find myself with results that these guys do bad against certain types of openings guess which direction i will go. Say i found out they love a type of opening, i figure i will try to avoid it as much as possible but still willing to play it.

The only advantage I can see in using d4 is that, you don't need to focus as much effort to make sure your pawn is defended while you try to start establishing attacking posts for your pieces. Considering your opponent can take advantage of the same thing, in theory, it shouldn't make any difference. However, I think adding having the initiative to that advantage can be very powerful to players that really know how to utilize it. In the end, I think the best lines still are basically draws for using either opening, but I think that psychologically, the extra initial pressure or lack there of can give many players an advantage, but I think experienced players let this bead up and roll off.... so it all boils down to who the better player is, not a gimmick that makes the difference.

e4 is better than all other openings for white because it exists.

Same for black, 1. ..Nf6 is superior to all other responses.

Cool

Avatar of royalbishop

 Hahahahahahaha beware!

No titled player in their right mind would say e4 is better than all other openings and yet we are forced to play it now. As it is all of the sudden better thatn the rest. We all missed the breaking news.

Who broke the story? On what channel? lol.

d4 is better than e4 because patzers like blaming their openings for their failures. Later on, when they switch to d4 and still lose, come to the conclusion that 1.Nh3 is the best first move by far.

How do you make your writing yellow?
