According to Bobby Fischer, e4 is the best opening move. As is well known, Fischer claimed 1. e4 to be the best by test. And the best way to continue was the Ruy Lopez for Bobby just like for many other players before and after him. Fischer himself used to play the exchange variation that was not considered a valid try to play for an advantage before the GM Fischer showed how to play the opening.
