I might add that the English is simply great, even though I know that this is not a valuable category in terms of chess.

@evil_monster: The English is a flexible, dynamic, and hypermodern opening, particularly interesting for positional players with good endgame technique (like Karpov).

It's a tradeoff. White "sacrifices" the d4-square to get a firm grip on the rest of the centre. And there is a tactical justification in 4.e4 Bc5 5.Nxe5. Your English is fine, by the way.

@ccssii: and I do win in the English -- with strategic choices like those I see made by Franco and Watson and Karpov.
