Win with the English!: Playing the English 2nd Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781784832933)

The English Opening, 1.c4, is a great practical weapon for players of all levels. White dictates the opening from the first move, reaching positions where understanding themes and plans is more important than computer-generated analysis. Win with the English! provides a complete repertoire with 1.c4, showing how to meet every major option that Black may try. Playing the English (2023) became an instant hit with professional and club players alike, generating rave reviews. GM Matthew Sadler noted that "on top of all that great explanation, the analysis is simply first class", while IM John Watson stated: "Every experienced English Opening player will want this book." Still, author Nikolaos Ntirlis was determined to raise the bar even higher. Win with the English! builds upon Playing with the English by tweaking move orders, plugging gaps and steering the play in even more practically potent directions than before. This enhanced edition leaves the best parts of the original work intact, while offering all the fine-tuning needed to make this the ultimate 1.c4 repertoire.
