D4 Or E4, That Is the Question.

He sits across from me over a board With checkered squares. He is white; I am black. I need a win, him a draw. Can’t afford To play prophylactically. Attack Is my only chance to win this tourney. Which leaves me with only one opening: The Sicilian*. I only hope that he Will play a hackneyed first move like a king Pawn center thrust. Queen pawn creates problems And he doesn’t need problems at this time. I feel both moves favor me. It depends. Playing queen pawn I think would undermine His chances for a draw but then again The king pawn move allows the Sicilian. * 1. e4....c5
