Yeah I just chessbase'd a bunch of lines a while back. Maroczy is pretty killer for white in symmetrical english.

Move order matters, though, you can't just play 1 c4 c5 2 e4 and expect a regular Bind. Black forewarned has options of better deployment. The MB proper is no fun for Black, though, don't play into it unless you are a very patient and tenacious defender.
yeah i usually play d4 before e4/g3 depending on how black decides to play symmetrical english. Also e3 is played in some variations. I am wondering though if white can go for a botvinnik system against symmetrical english. Maybe its not a good idea since black hasnt commited to g6. Any ideas on this?
Many of the openings I play lead to Maroczy bind positions. I am wondering what the main ideas are in the maroczy bind for white. Also if there are any good books or games I should look at on the Maroczy bind for white perspective, please recommend them.
Thanks
