Last night, my computer spent about eight hours doing a 12-ply analysis of black's responses to 1. e4. The responses that look the best are: 1. ... e5 (PV -30), 1. ... Ng6 (PV -48) and my personal favorite is 1. ... d5 (PV -74; White can’t hold on to the pawn after 2. exd5 Nb6 3. Bf3? f6). ChessV 0.9.0 felt 1. ... f6 (PV -56) was a little better, but 1. .... d5 is prettier and lowers the chances of entering a transposed position.
