"Good response to 1c4" resign! start other game, and hope your opponent play 1e4, d4 or Nf3. happy.png

hi

 

1.c4 e5 2.Nf3 e5! goes into nimzowitsch flohr variation i guess. that is also interesting with this one also.

I like to divert the game into a Queen's Gambit-like setup with 2.e6,trying to provoke d4,after which black is ok atleast in praxis.If he doesn't play d4,then you yourself can push forward with ...d4,seizing space.

happy.png and while white will play d4 you would have position like this that i always get against d4. 

plz build your own Repertoire else nothing will be in your comfort zone (someone told in this forum earlier in some other discussion ). 

 

 
thx in advance

I guess your database is rather small and involves mostly weak players.

 

 

There is a difference between what SF will say here and 10 moves later.

My positional evaluation also says white is much better.

 

For 1 c4 c6 2 e4 d5 3 e5, it gives 3...dxc4 4 Nf3(Bxc4 Qd4) Bg4 as best.

Even 3..Bf5 4 Qb3 Qb6 it says is deal equal.

3...d4 is interesting....although your fight with stockfish seems misleading because of its emphasis on space for early moves. I played 4 f4 h5 5 Nf3 Nh6 and you wont shake black's small advantage in stockfish. 6d3 Nf5.

 

On the contrary, 4. Bc4 Qd4 5. Qe2 Bg4 6. f3 is the main line after dc4, and white has quite some advantage here:

hi

 

i tried to work out with english but there was long new idea has developed over the years ie. possibly in botnivik setup. As per capablanca if you have lesser isolated pawn and more pawn island then it is good for endgame. so botnivik gives nice idea over there . i guess there is long ideas developed in some recent magazine. the above position is kind of mainlineish(ne7 is popular or played against botnivik rather it is played in this game and then f5 push some point ) . have look and watch few games that is played by kasparov. AND this is worst for black

I will do.....

WAIT.

What reason do you have that these lines are the best?

c5 is symmetrical english. most preferred to get a draw around same rated players circle unless either of them play super complex chess . happy.png let's see a position : 

 

 

thx

It depends on your goal.

To draw: 1...c5.

To fight for a win: 1...e5.

To be hypermodern and noncommittal: 1...Nf6.

This is actually super helpfull, perfectly said in few words.
