Just play it against the Chess.com Computer Engine, at it's highest level, 3200

as opposed to 1.) e4, at any level you may be and see the results for yourself

AlphaZero plays d4.) The most and it's the greatest player in the History of the Universe.

The reason it played d4 and c4 more than e4 was because it felt the Berlin was just a draw by force, and it handled the Sicilian poorly from both colors.  Therefore it avoided both by not playing e4.

Yes, I did surprisingly well with the Bishop's Opening against the Engine here on it's highest level.

If AlphaZero wanted to avoid "The Berlin" he should opt for that instead. (Even tho 2.) Bc4 2...) Nf6is also called The Berlin as well)

Ah, yes, now we get it:

The best footwear is Pirelli, because the F1 cars are all wearing it.

Wow, a real IM commented on my thread.

...Whatever you say Boss.

I wonder how Super Masters, Morphy or Fischer who both only played 1.) e4 would do against AlphaZero just playing that?

Magnus Carlsen, who is probably the Greatest Human Player that ever played said it is not worth the humiliation playing the Super Computers at all.

The d2 to d4 moving pawn is like a little baby protected by it's Queen the Mother.

While the e2-e4 pawn is independent and strides forth like it's King, the Father.

AlphaZero isn't the greatest player in the history of the universe at all

Pretty much the newest version of any modern engine is a million times stronger than AlphaZero

Chess Nerds get rejected by the Women.

1.) e4 1...) f6 was Best against Morphy.

While, 1.) e4 1...) f5 , "the Fred's" is the worst against anybody.

Breaking down that "Chess" is actually a Science.

D4 is the best for white since it can open up the game really well

Alpha zero is a sissy girl engine for not playing e4.

JohnNapierSanDiego

Play them both.  They're both awesome.  

Sylvester_P_Smythe2

AlphaZero is successful with the French Defense, but it still opts for 1.) d4

which it transports to 2.) e4 when Black does play 1...) e6
