Practise the English Opening

The English Opening (1.c4) is a flexible first move in which White controls d5 from the side instead of occupying the centre with a pawn. Play White's moves of the line from memory — 1. c4 — and the trainer plays Black's replies; "Play the other side" turns it around.

"Drill all" adds the 180 named lines that continue it, such as English Opening: King's English Variation, English Opening: Anglo-Indian Defense, English Opening: King's English Variation, Reversed Sicilian, English Opening: Anglo-Indian Defense, Queen's Knight Variation, English Opening: Symmetrical Variation, English Opening: Agincourt Defense, English Opening: King's English Variation, Two Knights Variation, English Opening: Symmetrical Variation, Normal Variation.
