The English opening, 1 c4, has become increasingly popular over the last few years and is included in the repertoire of most leading Grandmasters. For the average player requiring a sound, reliable system for club and tournament play, the English opening is thought to be an ideal choice, leading to elastic positions and interesting middle games.
