Tell that to Bobby Fischer.  Tell that to the high school chess team I coached that won their county championship and finished 3rd in the state (teams 1 and 2 had a bunch of Eastern European emigres) on the back of 1 e4 e5 2 Bc4.

The current strongest player in the world seems to disagree—1.e4 is Carlsen's opening of choice.
