I read something quite funny about the difference between players who play 1.d4 and 1.e4. Of course this is meant in humor, but perhaps there's a thread of truth behind it:
Players who play 1.e4
* Don't mind taking risks to get ahead.
* Spend money freely.
* Many are divorced, or single...
* Strive to get more out of life.
* Like adventure!
Player ...[text shortened]... al players prefer 1.e4 while positional players like 1.d4. But heck, that's only my opinion.
I'm a 1.e4 player myself and the characteristica are not
far from the truth, except that I'm still happily married!
