Englische Leidenschaft - Ein vollständiges Weißrepertoire mit 1.c4 Band 2 Holz when to push your a-pawn1 c5, 1 c6 and 1 e6 For many great players of different generations, the English Opening was a logical extension to 1. d4. If White waits before moving his d pawn, he can avoid a number of Black's popular defenses such as the Nimzo Indian or Grnfeld, and still lead later into lines that arise after 1. d4. But White can go further and build a purely English repertoire based on 1. c4 and 2. g3. That is the goal of my two DVDs on the English Opening.
