{ Hi! Welcome to my new studio! I recently asked my studios if they wanted me to create a study on opening in English, their responses were all positive and now I must fulfill my promise, this is my study on ''The English Opening.''

The English Opening is a positional style opening, which is reputed to be VERY SOLID and tends to lead to a calm game, although this opening contains many theories, I will try to do my best to summarize the most important things you should know before to play it.

This opening starts with 1.c4 (you can do it now) :D [%csl Gc4][%cal Gc2c4] } 1. c4 { This move may seem strange to you, since it is not as common as 1.e4 or 1.d4 for example. Still, this move kicks off the English Opening that we are going to talk about in this study.
Press the heart of this study to support me and motivate me to do many more studies, and to know if you liked this study or if you are doing it.
Let this wonderful study begin! } *

{ I am going to use this chapter to help you understand the ideas, plans and standard scheme of the English Opening, so instead of memorizing, you will be able to understand the basics in order to achieve better results in your games.

Please ignore the black king's moves and focus on what I'm going to mention: Start your games with 1.c4 [%csl Gc4][%cal Gc2c4] } 1. c4 Kd8 { Play 2.Nc3 [%csl Gc3][%cal Gb1c3] } 2. Nc3 Ke8 { Now 3.g3 [%csl Gg3][%cal Gg2g3] } 3. g3 Kd8 { And now, 4.Bg2 [%csl Gg2][%cal Gf1g2] } 4. Bg2 { You should do this ALMOST ALWAYS in your games with the English Opening, which has this name thanks to the English player Howard Staunton, who put a LOT of use to this opening.
After 1.c4 your knight from b1 will go to c3, and then you will play g3 to bring your bishop from f1 to g2, that is the basis of this opening. The bishop that will be positioned on g2 is your most important piece, since it controls the entire h1-a8 diagonal.
The other pieces have different directions (which I will explain to you in the following chapters), although I can mention that your e2 pawn must be yes or yes on e3. [%csl Gg2][%cal Gh1a8] } *
