1. c4 xx 2. e3 xx - 2007/11/25 04:19I have found that 1.c4 2.e3 or the mirrored version for black 1.c5 2.e6 to be a very successful opening. Does anyone know of any studies that may have been performed on this opening? Maybe the lack of information is why it works so well for me, especially on the internet!
1. c4 xx 2. e3 xx - 2007/11/26 20:46I shouldn't play 2.e3 after 1.c4 Nf6 or 1.c4 c5, but you may consider it after 1.c4 e5, but mainly because it is rather irregular.
