To all those d4 players out there: women get really turned on when guys play e4. Just saying.
why d4 is better than e4

Would you care to divulge where you first noticed this phenomenon and if so, where this is ongoing ?

Agrees with JaneBell. E4 is a score trick. goes right up in their center from the beginning.. Feels good. damn..

I'd say 1...Kxe1!! is probably the best choice. cannibalism huh?
You can't take the king.

Um... that's far from the biggest problem with that move.

This is ongoing in the outside world.

rules dont count for cannibals
But it's not the best move because if you take the opponent king, you can't deliver checkmate and therefore you can't win the game. That's why 1...Kxf2# is the best move.

I have to say, I almost exclusively play 1 e4 and it never seemed to turn my wife on... perhaps it would if I were to play a select list of female chess players...though the ones I am thinking of could probably play the worst statistical move on their first move, after I played 1. e4 and they'd still win ...

I play them both, I find them equally good. I remember Bobby Fischer in 1972 had almost never played d4 until game 6 which was possibly the turning point of the match when he played c4 out of the blue then quickly transposed it to a Queens Gambit for 1 of the greatest games ever. So if Fischer can play both why not everyone?
Do you expect everyone to be WC?
LOL I wish, but really what it says to me is that it has been tested by the best & even Fischer found both good enough to play in the World Championship

Good enough but not suitable. Some play e4 better, some d4 and c4. I think e4 is mostly memorization.

You may be correct but how much does playing style dictate your preference & how much does what you learned 1st effect your choice also memorization is part of the game .... errr how does the Knight move again?
d4 is for a closed game, e4 isn't. Both are good moves. Grandmasters tend to have better chances against each others in closed games. Theyre usually more complicated. So thats why they choose d4 mostly.
