In your opinion, which is best for chess engine players, 1. d4 or 1. e4 . CCGM Hans Berliner argued that 1. d4 was the better.

Still hard to say. In my opinion, only databases & statistics can "answer" this question.

The English ( 1. c4 ) is considered less popular as best opening move to 1. Nf3, though the English is played by many OTB Masters.

It seems that AlphaZero prefers 1.d4 or 1.c4 ... I guess he has good reasons :)
