I do not remember why I first started trying 1.c4 like you, years ago, but I too have had good luck with it for whatever reason. I am not sure why. One answerer suggests "that players are unfamiliar with how to play against it." That answerer may be right. | |

| May 14, 2018 at 19:45 | comment | added | Elemental Pete | I read in an article about AlphaZero that it determined 1.c4 to be the most effective opening. I started playing that in my openings after reading that, and have good luck with it, although I'm even more of a patzer... | |

| May 14, 2018 at 10:09 | comment | added | Annatar | Statistics are tricky. In general, any difference <5% is too insignificant to draw conclusions from. There are many biases that can blur win rate statistics. It's safest to assume that none of 1.d4, 1.c4 or 1.e4 is inherently better and it's mostly a matter of taste. | |
