One of the most popular 1st moves you’re likely to face with Black is 1.c4, also known as The English Opening.

It’s a solid opening where the structure often remains flexible and closed.

Many amateurs struggle to play against such openings because often it’s easy to make a reckless move that can create long-term problems.

This course will give you a practical repertoire starting with 1...c5!
