[COMMENT DELETED]
"Classical chess" advocates the occupying of the centre with pawns.
In hypermodern style, the centre is controlled remotely with peices rather than pawns, thus inviting the opponent to construct a pawn chain in the center which can subsequently be undermined.
Romantic chess refers to the style of chess played in the 1800's characterised by bold attacking combinations and piece sacs.
The english opening is a flank opening where white sets out to control the d5 square with 1.c4 in hypermodern style. I believe the sicilian would fall under the classical bracket as it a response to 1.e4.
