It is dangerous to maintain equality at the cost of placing the pieces passively.

The truth is that my chess development was nothing out of the ordinary, and it proceeded probably at a pace no faster than others.

I like 1.e4 very much, but my results are better with 1.d4.

Children can take lessons in that school via the Internet and can score extra points like e.g. in Geography or History. That sounds very promising and is a fantastic basis for future steps.

I have found after 1.d4 there are more opportunities for richer play.
