E4 or D4???

one of the most common problems for beginners is choosing between e4 and d4 and then how to correctly attack and/or defend 

I think 1..e4 is the best

Because the Scotch game is my favourite opening and this helps control the center an develop pieces like. But see a real game below with the same position as above

thanks!

what about the french defense

Wait you blundered your queen

I choose d4 Because the Pawn has a defender and if he attacks the Queens Pawn We simply Move the kings Pawn Next and if he attacks our pawn we simply push it or defend the Pawn with the Knight

Or

personally, I would choose d4 since it would lead to the london system or the queen's gambit and I think both are great openings.

I think e4 for me is better than d4

sweet thanks

what about the kings Indian defense. good? bad?

The example given of the "Italian 4 knights" gives 4...d5, when the age-old continuation Nxe4! is known to rob White of the initiative.

The King's Indian Attack can pretty much be used against any opening, since it is a setup and can be adapted. However, it works better against certain semi-open defenses, such as the french, the sicilian and the caro-kann.

i agree with that but what if white plays a very closed offensive opening like the dutch

Do you mean the Bird's Opening as a Dutch reversed??

yes

You'll need to be ready for the Fromm's Gambit (1. e5) as well as a long and slow assault by Black as in the Dutch but a tempo down.

D4
