Very useful book to learn this opening
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Nice intro to the English useful ideas. Interesting coverage of g3 double fianchetto line. As with all books in the "winning" series seeks to rapidly allow you to learn a new opening and competently understand ideas and main lines.Cannot be considered complete.You need to study many more games and specialise in sub varients. However book serves its purpose, Co author Kallai is now a GM and has 2 nice basic opening books
Fairly Comprehensive
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
A good introduction to the English Opening (1.c4) with several systems covered. The most common reply i have run across is 1...e5 which gives White a Sicilian Reversed, so all you Sicilian fans out there might enjoy using the same ideas on the White side of the board. The book covers Irregular Variations, The Dragon, the Normal Sicilian, Three Knights Variation and the Closed Sicilian Reversed. There's also chapters on facing a Grunfeld Defence without the use of d4, avoiding the Nimzo-Indian Defence and Symmetrical English systems including the Hedgehog. I've never encountered 1.c4 c5 though. Seems like a boring choice for Black. Overall, plenty of information to introduce this line of play.
