English Opening: Classical & Indian - Paperback
by Everyman Chess (Author)
An up-to-date and complete coverage of opening systems beginning with 1c4 written by a Soviet grandmaster and acknowledged expert in this line of play. After an apparently modest beginning the game can take either a strategical or tactical path into the middlegame. Whether you are attacking or defending, The English Opening is an attractive choice regardless of your individual style of play.
The English Opening is one of the most flexible and dynamic ways for White to begin the game, and it is no accident that it features in the repertoires of many leading grandmasters, including World Champion Garry Kasparov. The Latvian grandmaster Vladimir Bagirov has worked through an immense amount of practical material to produce a thoroughly professional and up-to-date guide to the most topical variations of this popular opening. This volume covers all variations where Black defends against 1 c4 with the classical 1...e5 or the 'Indian': 1...Nf6. The companion volume English Opening: Symmetrical deals with defenses commensing 1...c5.
