i like both d4 and e4 openings since it has the most winning chances for white,, but sometimes and even often i do is the F4 which is very interesting ,, it is called the bird opening .. to some, it has more bad middle games than doing good,, but for me it develops the strategy thinking lines ,, my percentages in winning with this kind of opening (F4) is about 75percent and about 25percent losing.. nice opening , try it.. Also i tutor for kids who likes to get formal chess tutorials,, i do in-house training and develop the kids analysing ingenuity.. chess is good when started young... my mobile: 0905-8577096 Danny
