Hans Berliner believes 1. d4 to be a forced win for white. He claims to have refuted most black defences to 1. d4, the major exception being the Nimzo-Indian. Is 1. d4 a forced win for white? Haven't a clue, never play it myself.
emphasis on the strength of 1. d4 isn't justified by the move itself.
However it is built instead on the system's idea's which follow this
move. Simply playing 1. d4 doesn't do anything, Instead its the
usage of principle, and a coordinated system of maneuvarbility which
creates and maintains strength for the Queen's pawn.
