I have used this pedestrian, solid, defensive opening to good effect in Bullet

games. This opening allows for a flexible defense, with a decent castle-opportunity on either flank. The knight out of normal english position shores up the kingside bishop's square on the edge. Any tips for improvement, or inherant weaknesses in this opening?

I recommend GM Kosten's epic, The Dynamic English. Laughing
