e4

e4 is better, because e is a vowel and d is just another stupid consonant.

So I guess by that logic, c4 sucks too!

So this is my opinion so don't kill me-

d4! d4! d4!

I think that e4 is more tactical whil d4 is more positional

Yes. Only e4 and a4 should be considered.

D4 can become tactical fast if someone has the nerve to play the queens gambit accepted,likewise e4 can become more positional if the sicilian is played.

Does it matter if a boxer starts his game with a jab or a cross?

Avatar of DrSpudnik

The Ruy Lopez often starts as an open game and ends up as a double-fianchetto defense. Is that positional? Tactical? Ridiculous?

What about a3. and e3 good Dr.,they start with vowels?

I personally play 1.e4, though 1.d4 is great if you want to avoid the sicilian (however you can't really avoid the queen gambit, and the only gambit I play(and for which I took some time to study) is the Smith-Morra, so I rarely play 1.d4). However, I think that the Barzca system (1.Nf3 followed by a kingside fianchetto and kingside castling on the 4th move) isn't bad. But all systems have their advantages/disadvantages.

The only "Bar"zca I do is when I'm dancing drunk on the" Bar" counter!

Evreryone knows 4 is better than 3.

The ants in France are mainly in my pants!

Avatar of PerfectConscience

It is simply a matter of taste. If you prefer open positions play e4 and for closed positions play d4. Nothing more nothing less

Avatar of DrSpudnik

What's that got to do with ants?

Avatar of einstein99

I really don't understand good Dr. why they insist not to listen to your well reasoned and superior logic, why everyone knows that ants start with a vowel,therefore they are a superior species over homosapians since that starts with a comsonent!
