More of e4 than d4. I played d4 in rated OTB tournaments. Online I played more e4. I don't take online game seriously.

I was a 1.e4 player but now I am a 1.d4 player because I can play the Colle, London, Stonewall and never have to learn any more opening theory ever.   Thank goodness for that.  Please spare me any of your protestations about opening theory. One, I dont care and two it's meaningless at my measly level.

Idk what the stonewall is, mind filling me in?

Its a system with pawn 'teeth' grabbling onto e5. Basically a reversed stonewall Dutch.

I changed my mind, I'm now an d4 person, Mason attack./London System. I'm also famously fickle.

That is a rather classical opening, does it score well for you? I play very hypermodern, and would rather play in a classical type

I prefer the four knights opening, so e4.

I only like a few variations of the four knights, Glek, Gunsburg, and Halloween gambit, which do you like?

I'm not sure about gambits, fried_liver-attack, because I don't recognize openings, I just play them.
