ya I know that there are 2 ways to tell what the best move is the Ret'i has highest win rate and d4 has the highest advantage

KentexplorerchessW

you know I think the real best move in the opening is your favorite move or the move you've done the most because you know it the best

KentexplorerchessW

for me that's queens gambit jobava London London and the dutch thing I do plus Benoni defense accepted

KentexplorerchessW

if you like E4 that's the best opening if you like wnf3 that's the best opening if you like d4 that's the best opening if you like g4 even that's the best opening

KentexplorerchessW

the reason the opening you like the most is the best opening is because you know the middlegame the best and that is the opening you know the tactics the best with thats what most people who are great at coaching will probably say

Abtectous
Yeah, opening choice is really personal preference. It only matter the choice if they are playing something really bad like f4 or f5

or g4

KentexplorerchessW

the worst opening to ever exist in chess

RFFFXZ

e4 is better

KentexplorerchessW

what proof

I have proof d4 is better E4 has 38% win rate white d4 has 39% win rate white and 0.33 advantage e4 is 0.25 advantage worse then the Ret'i 0.27 advantage

Abtectous
None of them are better, these are miniature and likely skewed numbers mean nothing

Im talking microscopically

KentexplorerchessW

I will say that the kings pawn opening Queen's pawn opening The Ret'i and c4 give you 100% accurracy no matter what on the first move except insights

Abtectous
Yeah, but once again it’s whatever move works best for you
KentexplorerchessW

yup

NeoChess9
Just because it’s 0.09 lower than d4 doesn’t mean it’s a blunder.

ya Im talking that exaggeration meme you know the meme where the weird Chess dude with dressed up as a green pawn says E4 brilliant C4 great D4 never play d4 its blunder Im not really saying its a blunder its just exaggeration meme

If you're taking any stimulants I think you should lay off them. Including any coffee, or even tea...
