the english muffin

@DonnieDarko1980 I was rather amused to see an opening without 1. c4 being named "The English Muffin". I personally think it's rather apt because the precise bread product which our American cousins choose to describe an "English" Muffin bears no relation any variety of muffin originating in England - it's their creation not ours and quite why they chose to name it as if we created it defeats me. Naturally, we were making muffins long before 1776, but not ones of that precise type.

Sadly, the line in question here already has a name. Two, in fact. It was originally known as the "Inverted Hanham" (as per the line in Philidor's Defence) but became known as the Tayler Opening after one John Tayler published an able analysis of it in an edition of BCM back in 1981.

So. I'm going to carry on calling it the Tayler Opening. Let us not deny the man his stab at posterity.

I didn't know that

Oops. C3 is already an opening.
