e4

Given that chess is not solved we do not know. We can speculate though. Probably every opening move by white is equally good, in a sense that they'll all result in a draw with the best play from both sides.

But if your question is about which opening is best for you, then I'd say it is the one you enjoy the most. Pick the opening you like, not the one that someone told you is the best.

It is not true that almost everyone plays 1. e4. Approximately as many players play 1. d4 as 1. e4.

Yes, e4 is played slightly more often as d4. By a small margin. And e4 is played less than all other moves combined.

I was just refuting your statement that "almost everyone plays e4", which is not true. More than half of the games begin with a move that is not e4.

Ok, I can say the same about d4. Almost everyone plays d4.

GMs play it, IMs play it, FMs play it, beginners play it too (or they love the London).
