Mar-09-09 | | parisattack: <chessman95: I don't try this one very often: it looks a bit passive. This move dosn't help develop any peices and I find it annoying that often I can't pin black's knight on C6 because the pawn is in the way. Also, it immediatly tells black (unless the white player is crazy) that white will be castling on the king-side, so as black I usually start preparing an attack on that side of the board when my opponent uses the English. It dosen't encourage me to use it that the winning percentage for white and black is almost equal on this site.> None of the hypermodern openings for White have fared too well at the top level the past few years. I suppose the English is the least 'hyper' of them. Its a great opening if you have the positional touch - although its fun to compare how different players have worked it - Reti, Flohr, Botvinnik, Tal, Stein. Tal and Stein got some fairly lively games out of it... |

Mar-10-09 | | chessman95: English Games are very active for such an 'anti-developmental' move, but I think the reason is more because black always gets crazy attacks on white than because white gets open peice play. Good for the defensive player! |

Mar-09-10 | | rapidcitychess: The English Bremen <1 c4 e5> is very good. I always play the Rossililomo reversed. My move order is <1 c4 Nf6 2 Nc3 e5 3 g3 Bb4!> Black takes a lot of drive out of the English without White's Queen Knight. If you remember, white can play 2 Bg5 in the dutch and do a lot of damage. If black tries the main line <1 c4 e5 2 Nc3 Bb4 3 Nd5! Be7 4 d4 d6 5 e4 Nf6! 6 Nxe7 Qxe7 7 f3> click for larger view/ |

Good for the defensive player!> I don't think you understand the English very well at all. If black is getting 'crazy attacks', it's because white is a patzer and is handling the opening wrong. |
