I would play 2.c4 right away with White and follow up with g3 and a kingside fianchetto soon after, transposing into English I believe. Possibly this is what Black may be aiming for, so if you like playing Black against the English opening with a perhaps symmetrical english with pawns on c4,c5 and kingside fianchetto's, try it out. BY stefsias.

Finally. Someone who understands the concept of c4 followed by the kingside fianchetto.

Very interesting opening...

The following is a good position for white, in which the Zukertort Opening: Silician Invitation is the opening:

Hmmm......I always thought the Zukertort went d4, Nf3, e3 then Bd3.  After this I normally transpose into the colle-zukertort, playing b3, Bb2. This is an excellent opening for tying up black's pieces!

I preferred the king side fianchetto for black and c4 pawns action

I, personally, have had quite a bit of success with this. It can transpose into Reti, Nimzo-Larsen, or even Scotch if you try hard enough! It sets white up for early fianchetto and castling and it's great for flanking. Now, of course, I mostly like this because I am a very conservative player and I like to be able to respond more in the opening than lead. Also, if black plays 1. ...P-e5, white is in some hot water because, by threatening the knight, white is already behind in tempo by 2/3 moves and black has a good control of the center.

It seems as if with this move, wht is always on the defensive.

Blk in my opinion has the upper hand, if wht is easily intimidated.
