Hello Everyone,

I am going to run a handful of tournaments to explore the versatile English Opening and some of its many variations and transpositions. These tournaments favour the experienced player but I think they are good learning tournaments for everyone else.

The first tournament will beĀ  Exploring the English Opening: Kings English Variation, Kramnik Shirov Counter. There are winning lines and ideas to be pursued by white and black. For both subtle moves can yield big results in this variation but you need to assert your position too. The meek will not win this game.

Come and enjoy an exploration of an English Opening.

Cheers,

Arnie
