f4 is seen the least since it's the worst, in the databases I can find, it doesn't even score 50%.

C4!

I'm an e4 player, but I wouldn't mind playing d4 or c4 in a tournament (I may switch in a year or so).  1.f4 I would only play in an unrated game (club) or online if my opponent is much weaker and I'm just goofing around.

And actually, I think every first move is playable, even at the highest level.  If opponents are equal and the white player has never played 1.g4 or 1.f3 well of course he'll be at a disadvantage.  But right now I'm thinking the worst first move will only give black easy equality.  I don't think any first move instantly puts you at a disadvantage.

I could see how many 2nd moves though could already tip the balance is black's favor.

I only play three responses.  Here are my top three.

1 P-K4

1 P-KKt4

1 Kt-KB3

b4... the orangutang

not because it's an amazing opening, but because the games feel different it's not like the other openings.

I normally go e4 almost all the time

E4 most of the time, although I like to mix it up with c4 and b3 occaisionally.
