e4 is not an opening. If it was really the best opening move it is weird why not all top players play it.
not an opening move ayy what planet are u from amigo? and what game are u talking about?
Ill bet you ten bucks Deep blue would choose it more than any other opening.
Correct, Deep Blue did play e4 exclusively.
pheeeew that was a guess! Thank u!
Bobby Fischer once annotated a game ....1. E4 as "best by test". He was right.
Guyala Breyer, an early hyper-modern theorist of the 1920's , did the same, annotating a game with 1. e4:
"With this premature bid for control of the center, white's game is in it's death throws".
Or something like that, it was obviously very tongue-in-cheek and meant as a joke.

This is true and I agree.
I also agree that e4, and it's counterpart e5, is the best opening (for both black and white).
Opening with d4, on the other hand, just plain stinks, is boring and weak.

Overall a very bad opening. Especially for white who initiates it.

Bobby Fischer said so too. Where I disagree is the "by far" part. It is only marginally better than 1.d4 1.Nf3 and 1.c4.

1. e4?! is weaker than 1. d4, since the e4 pawn is hanging.
From a 1. e4! player
You're all wrong. 1. f3 is clearly the best.
Because of the many wonderful things it does, e4 is the supreme opening move for white. Even deep Blue would choose e4 above all others. Human competition has grown stale and boring. We should look to computer generated games on both sides, Let's face it, we build computers that play chess better than any master, this is fact.
