d4 is the best opening

d4 in my opinion is the best opining as it both protects the pawn and controls center it also allows you to mobilise both your queen and bishop. you can also evolve it into the queens gambit.

also notice how it foces black to block itself in while white is well developed

nobody talk, let this forum die

do you disagree?

I always disagree.

What are we talking about?

d4 is the best look at those videos

this is cringe

While 1.d4 is a good opening move, I doubt we'll ever figure out what opening move is "best." All the stuff that comes after move 1 is also important.

d4 is good. So is e4, c4 and Nf3. b3 is not very bad either. But I bet that even if you play a3 on the first move, it won't make much of a difference for you:

Cut it out. That sounds like complete hokum.

(And I am an e4 player.)

This is both an impossible task and an impertinent demand.

LOL

You know that all opening moves (aside from 1. f3 and 1. g4) are very likely 0.00 right?

1. d4 commits to a big pawn center, and doesn't mobilize white's pieces all that well, which is why the hypermodern replies to it (1. ..Nf6, 1. ..e6, and 1. ..g6) all work very well against it, while the classical reply of 1. ..d5 fares comparatively worse.

The purpose of the opening is to (1) control the center, (2) mobilize one's pieces, and (3) restrict the development of the opponent's pieces. The move 1. d4 stakes a substantial claim to the center, but that claim is not as well-supported as it may seem at first. Yes, the queen is behind this pawn, unlike 1. e4, but the queen is poorly posted playing nursemaid to a pawn, even a central one. Better to have a rook there, and you can usually post a rook on e1 sooner than you can post one on d1. It doesn't mobilize white's pieces very well, and in the hypermodern defenses to it it doesn't restrict black's development.
