e4 VS d4!!

Actually quite interesting fact is that In System Hans Berliner said: "If there is a correct move after 1.e4 e5 it must be 2.f4, since 2.Rf3 limits further aggression in the center because the f2.pawn will not be able to participate. Since 2.f4 is not feasible, it is likely 1.e4 is wrong." :)

E4 leads to open games with attacking chances?! I play e4 because I want the closed ruy lopez!

The sicilian defense is considered as a sharp tactical opening...

It depends on what sicillian. Most of the open sicillians are very sharp.

No matter what I might open with, I'm confident that I could ruin a perfectly decent middlegame and throw it all out the window.

d4 for the win! :D

I played both, but e4 just feels better to me without theory.

@Kansha d4 is more often draw you know :)

The only way to settle this? I hate to point it out, but a rap battle would be more logical.

any one play g3 regularly?

I've begun a couple of month ago

Any one else want to talk?

d4=queen gambit=my game

Hplay only one opening until you know were the pieces belong to.than you try similiar openings

yeah, I like the French to fight 1.e4, very hard opening to learn though.

thanks for the feed back. 

any one want to get this thread going again?  yes or no please, no "your such a troll"  bla blah blah bla

I'm a d4 player. It leads to better games for me. I can actually equalize and then explode with attacks a lot easier with d4 than e4, but that's just me. I feel like I'm in more control as white. On the other hand if someone plays d4 against me, I'm almost always play the Dutch Stonewall variation or Leningrad variation. The Dutch defense is a great defense against d4 and I highly recommend it for people who like closed games.

I hate both of them.I play the english and the van geet(nc3) under most circumstances.

But i love to play against Both e4&d4.Cuz i like the system that arises in the french and The KID
