What's funny is this is the person who has always made fun of 1. d4 for being "too boring"

Tbh 1.E4 is for real men. But I decided to give D4 a chance

Explore both e4 & d4. I like e4 a little more but d4 is actually equal fun. Happy chess, 🙂♟️
I decided that temporarily (or permanently) switching to 1.D4 would be good to make me a more ¨well rounded player¨. Does anyone have any tips or resources for making a 1. D4 repertoire based on Catalan structures? I want to be able to play a Catalan whenever I can.
