Nov-25-02    ksadler: Its good that chessgames.com gives the people what they want (since the discussion in the Kibitzer's Cafe has been around 1. c4 c6 and the like). My suggestion 2. Nc3 d5 and go from there will a good game for Black. Feb-13-04    marcus13: This ia a stange variation. What happens if whit play 2.e4. Mar-24-04    Kenkaku: <marcus13> 2. e4 d5 3. exd5 cxd5 4. cxd5 (or d4 transposing into a Panov-Botvinnik Attack) Nf6 is standard. Nov-05-04    joeyam30: 1.c4 c6 2.d4 d5 ...transpose 2 Queen's Gambit, Slav Defence,,, Nov-05-04    An Englishman: Good Evening: This might sound peculiar coming from a Caro-Kann fan, but as White vs. 1...c6, I always transposed into the Panov-Botvinnik, the only opening I enjoyed playing from either side. Apr-04-05    WorldChampeen: Even the pgns for two of the illustrative games, Reti vs Rubinstein, 1923 and V Castaldi vs Reshevsky, 1950 call these A07s, Kings Indian Attacks, NOT A11s. May-16-06    Mating Net: As a staunch 1.c4 player, I really like White's game when Black replies 1...c6. Typically Black is aiming for a Slav Defense to the QGD which is solid enough if Black plays 2.d4. However, Black opens himself up to the Panov Botvinnik attack, where I feel White has a solid, albeit small, advantage right out of the starting blocks. The IQP position gives White dynamic chances and, in my mind, cosses up Black's opening plans. May-16-06    Silman: <Mating Net> I have just switched within the last week to the English Opening after years of playing 1.d4, 2.c4, followed by more years of playing Quens Pawn systems. So comments like your last post I find very useful. I look forward to finding simillar comments from A10 through to A39!! I also notice we both play the Dutch & just wondered what you played against 1.e4,? May-16-06    Mating Net: <Silman> Glad to hear you found my comment useful! I don't know if I have anything constructive to offer on A10-A39, but you'll hear from me if I do. I like to play Alekhine's Defense, 1...Nf6 & the 3...d6 Scandinavian vs. 1.e4. I have game collections for all listed in my profile. Any particular reason you switched to 1.c4 after so many years with 1.d4? I'm curious because the 1.d4 players I know are pretty fanatical in their devotion to their opening system and always snicker a bit when I play the English. <Silman> If you choose to respond, please do so in my forum as we are touching on several non English topics.
