Blitz
D4 is better than E4 and C4 and its also whatever works best for you
I will say that the Vienna is a good opening but in a lot of games people blunder the Italian often with bringing all four knights out and not defending the e4 pawn with a d3 pawn.
when I play the Italian in king of the hill when where not bumrushing are kings into the center and trying to play a normal game until the endgame I play it positionally I like that kinda Italian that one nice.
trompowsky is good and d4 right? cuz its this I play the Jobava usually but sometimes I played the trompowsky.
as far as im aware, the greatest theoretical advantage for white comes from a standard Queen's Gambit or the Catalan. i'm trying to learn the best of the best so that i can keep up with the best once i get to 2000+
for e4 the best is definitely the Spanish, but for practical purposes there might be better options cuz of all the variations. which is why i love the vienna bc black always spontaneously combusts
I see this opening with the trompowsky alot trompowky stops the kings Indian and wins the center thats why I used to play it
and if you love brilliant sacks look at this Jobava London line the mistake that is the second most popular way its played
cool right that's the second most popular way the Jobava is played kinda like the ponziani with the second most popular move being a mistake this mistake specifically
I forgot why but I know that's the idea.

what do you play in the trompowsky if black goes for a 2. d5 and 3. c5 setup
Let’s play then
