Beating The English by GM Dejan Bojkov

Beat The English Opening
By Playing Like White!

This striking counter to 1.c4 hustles hard for the dynamic advantages the first player so desires — from central domination… aggressive pieces… to excellent attacking chances.

It’s brought to you by Grandmaster Dejan Bojkov (peak 2556 FIDE).

Bojkov was the 2009 Bulgarian chess champion… a former trainer of Antonaeta Stefanova (2004 Women’s World Champion)… and coach of New Zealand’s Olympiad team.

But perhaps most important of all:

Bojkov knows how to set tough problems for the English Opening, because he’s a 1.c4 specialist himself.

And in Beating The English, he gives you a complete counter to 1.c4 based on…

Black’s Most Aggressive Response:
The Reversed Sicilian With 1…e5

Maybe you’re already familiar with the Sicilian Defense, and the edge White gets out of the opening.

After 1.e4 c5, the first player often dominates the center, enjoys active pieces, and has excellent attacking chances.

With Bojkov’s Reversed Sicilian against the English, you’ll assume the same dynamic advantages from the black side, even when down a tempo.

The Reversed Sicilian vs
The English Opening

Turns out the flexible 1.c4 is too timid, and Bojkov has supplied over 200 MoveTrainer® variations to prove it.

The main line of Beating The English features a kingside fianchetto and a knight leap to d4, hitting multiple targets in the enemy position.

This setup is not only robust. It sidesteps the most heavily-analyzed lines, too. So you’ll have plenty of room to play creatively, and storm the enemy king’s quarters!

Punishing slow development
with a fast-paced attack
