In this video lesson, GM Igor Smirnov shares a simple, universal, and aggressive chess opening system for White: the English Opening, starting with 1.c4. Even if you typically play 1.e4 or 1.d4 as White, learning this opening system is straightforward.
One of the most common responses from Black is 1…e5, known as the Reversed Sicilian or the King’s English Variation. Continuing with 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Nc3 Nf6 4.e4 leads us into the Four Knights System, Nimzowitsch Variation.
This variation is both tricky and aggressive, and has a substantial 60% win rate for White. Even Magnus Carlsen has employed this opening in his games.
