What can I do against this opening, besides playing d5. I tried playing c5 and it never works what else can i do? Thanks in advance

1.Nf3 you could try Nf6  2.c4 g6  3.Nc3 Bg7  4.e4 d6  5.d4 0-0

What do you play vs. 1.d4?

What do you mean 1 ... c5 "never works"? Have you studied this line at all?

I myself play 1...c5 but you have to be prepared to play a symmetrical english and a sicilian.

thats the thing i'm not very good at playing against the english opening..... so i guess i will just play either d5 or nf6 followed by g6
