d4 is, either, a square on the chessboard, 4th from the left and 4th from the bottom, hence the name, d4, or, a move, 1. d4, where pawn that stands in front of the queen, moves 2 squares forward.

I play both e4 and d4. Please tell me my personality.

The d4 player is passive, yet deadly. They lure their opponents into a false sense of "safe" chess and then explode down the queen side and rip into the king side until the very foundation of their opponents has fallen. Of course most are nice though haha

Really? So a 1300 player doesn't have the ability to understand chess is thar right? When's the last time you played one?

1. e4 : Gentlemen who stick to unwritten treaty.

1. f4 : Nobody.

Birds play 1.f4 actually (and 1.f4 is played by birds).

 

1.c4 is for thea enthousiasts.

 

And you did not talked about knight moves

Knight moves, right.

1. Na3 : Na and 3 other letters, s, t, and y.

1. Nc3 : For people who are afraid of the Poles.

1. Nf3 : For ghost riders who goes 2. d4.

1. Nh3 : As stinky as NH3.

Not passive, but it can sometimes lead to a closed game at first since e4/e5 usually aren't immediately played because of the d4/d5 pawns. This means some maneuvering is required. I hated 1.d4 when I first started playing chess because my typical instinct was to develop all my pieces immediately, castle, and then attack the king. This is not as simple when the game is more closed.

Since at least the turn of the 20th Century, games starting 1.e4 e5 have generally involved a good deal of strategy and maneuvering too

Yes high level modern e4 games typically have strategy and maneuvering, but I think lower level e4 games still focus mainly on Italian game setups with pressure on f7 and quick development/attacking.

the best way to know someone is to become them , vlad as duke nukem rightly said

"i must become the thing i hate "

spend a month studying and only playing 1 d4

every opening in chess has weakness and strength , learn both

A week ago, when I created my account... but I played a few games, because my rating went  up fast.

 

p.s.: you just said d4 is "passive".. that shows how much YOU understand happy.png))

Passive in that it doesn't expose the king right away like e4 does, ignoring any further lines and the imbalances it can create. You seem like a sad man my friend, do you really feel it's that important to make sure your ego isn't challenged? I'm sure your decent but don't act like I'm clueless just because of my rating. Men like you fall hard when you finally realize your nothing but a patzer just like the rest of us.

You don't need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.

it depends really, some of them played 1.e4 at some point, some did not, but truth to be told they had to nail Rubinstein's pawn on d4, before the game

Did Rubinstein only ever play D4?
