english opening, best variation lines

DEAR  MEMBERS,  CAN  ANYONE WHO IS FAMILIAR WITH  THE ENGLISH OPENING,  PLEASE  GIVE  ME YOUR  OPINION OF THE BEST  VARIATION OR LINES?

THANK  YOU  AS  ALWAYS              TONY     antne003

I gave up playing the English about 10 years ago...hated the symmetrical lines with 1)...c5.  The only time i really liked it was when they played 1)...e5 for reverse Sicilian.

I don't play it as White. If my opponent plays it when I'm Black, I'll play ... e5 for the reverse Sicilian.

Recently I watched our club master (FM) answering it with 1. ... f5 in a tournament game. He got into a winning position, even if he lost by missing a check and dropping a piece in the endgame.

MEMBERS,  THANK YOU  ALL FOR YOUR  COMMENTS, I'M NOT  GOOD, BUT  I'LL KEEP  TRYING

THANKS  FOR  YOUR  HELP                                      TONY  antne003
