Thematic tournament about A02.Bird Opening (1.f4) - The British master Henry Edward Bird first played it in 1855 and continued to do so for the next 40 years.

It is less than one-twentieth as popular as the mirror-image English Opening (1.c4).The move 1.f4 slightly weakens White's king's position. ChessGames.com's statistics indicate that the opening is not an effective way of preserving White's first-move advantage.
