yeah i know 1.e4 has reportedly been refuted as being mickey mouse, but the players at my level don't know how to refute it so who cares what makes more sense?

I play 1.e4 on a regular basis, but if someone knows how to handle it, he surely win. I played e4 recently with a Grand Master, and he won, so it is probably right.

Gyula Breyer, 1920's hypermodern chess player, annotating a game: (tongue -in-cheek, obviously)

1. e4....with this premature bid for control of the center, white's game is in it's death throe's.
