The English Opening is a chess opening that begins with the move:
1. c4
A flank opening, it is the fourth most popular[1][2] and, according to various databases, anywhere from one of the two most successful[1] to the fourth most successful[3] of White's twenty possible first moves. White begins the fight for the centre by staking a claim to the d5-square from the wing, in hypermodern style. Although many lines of the English have a distinct character, the opening is often used as a transpositional device in much the same way as 1.Nf3 - to avoid such highly regarded responses to 1.d4 as the Nimzo-Indian and Grünfeld Defences, and is considered reliable and flexible.[4]
The English derives its name from the English (unofficial) world champion Howard Staunton, who played it during his 1843 match with Saint-Amant and at London 1851, the first international tournament.[5] It did not inspire Staunton's contemporaries and caught on only in the twentieth century.[5] It is now recognised as a solid opening that may be used to reach both classical and hypermodern positions. Mikhail Botvinnik, Tigran Petrosian, Anatoly Karpov, Garry Kasparov, and Magnus Carlsen employed it during their world championship matches. Bobby Fischer created a stir when he switched to it from his customary 1.e4 late in his career, employing it against Lev Polugaevsky and Oscar Panno at the Palma de Mallorca Interzonal in 1970, and in his world championship match against Boris Spassky.

Rapid chess and blitz chess tournaments
Blitz chess (also known as speed or fast chess) is a type of chess in which each player is given less time to consider their moves than normal tournament time controls allow. Openings, tactics and strategy are same.
I like that pawn phalanx on the Black side. As always, an interesting opening choice by Morozevich. Good game.
Now that's a cool way to point out time is over to your opponent 😎
Guys, please give a thumbs up uf you liked the video! Thanks!
The end sounds like a Pop Corn Machine going off.
That flip-off that the end, I'm surprised his opponent didn't notice 🙈
Nice camera angle
Cadê o Carlsen?
That’s Ed Carlsen
Each player should wear a couple (or more depending on head size) of cameras on their head so we can see more angles
thats ridiculous
@@camerondavis6607 They should also attach a mike to the cameras so we can hear the comments and tie the whole thing around the back of the head by tape but avoiding the eyes so they can see. You should be open to new ideas thinking outside the box. Why do baseball players, football players and hockey players wear helmets which are heavier?
@@rickrick5041 for their safety? Which chess player would ever want to agree to that. Its completely pointless and utterly crazy
@@camerondavis6607 I didn't mention safety. The public likes to see more for a fuller viewing experience. You will see the game exactly as the players see it from both sides. I'd vote for it. Once they get used to it they won't want to play without it. It's like seatbelts. When I start the car I automatically reach for it and don't feel right until it's on. I can still see the road and the players can still see the board
@@rickrick5041 but why would they want to wear it
