Ive looked at every results from every ever website d4 is always better in results d4 may be bad for you but it has better results for the people who know how to do the openings then the results for the people who know how to play the openings with e4

GM games d4 highest win rate all games d4 highest win rate well there's a big fight with nf3 against it so nf3 is also an amazing opening too e4 is a good opening kings fianchetto good openings you should play kings fianchetto kings pawn queens pawn reti and English just d4 does have best results and advantage

Don't forget that 1. Nf3 will score higher, as will 1. c4, because there are fewer who play them and both are very transpositional, so that opening knowledge becomes very important and that will up the results in practice.

I don't know about 1. Nf3 but with 1. c4 it's possible to channel every possible reaction by black towards a line you like which also contains positional traps. I know that because I played 1. c4 for several years.

ya but c4 is just the same as e4 to a Scandinavian player

Avatar of Optimissed

I swapped to 1. Nf3 for a year and then to 1. d4. Almost imediately I found that I was winning much faster. A 60 move win with 1. c4 became a 40 move win with 1. d4. That was important to me because I was a tournament player.

I actually would recommend the anglo Scandinavian it completely destroys the idea of c4 inless they turn it into a queens gambit which is the best move so now you just got yourself into playing the queens gambit

Completely different. 1. c4 ... d5 is much worse because white keeps both central pawns.
