    English Defence: 1 Description

    Uploaded by

    Okaan Lool
    The English Defence is a chess opening characterized by moves that flout traditional opening principles, such as developing bishops before knights and bringing out the queen early. It was developed in the 1970s by English players as a surprise weapon. Notable games using this opening include Korchnoi defeating Polugaevsky in the 1977 World Championship semifinals. The opening allows White to gain a broad pawn center but Black puts pressure on it with early moves of the bishops and queen.

    Description

    White often gains a broad pawn centre with 3.e4, which


    Black puts pressure on with moves like ...Bb7, ...Bb4,
    and sometimes even ...Qh4 and/or ...f5. It was developed by the Leicester player P. N. Wallis, and was taken
    up by several leading English players in the 1970s, such
    as Tony Miles, Jon Speelman and Raymond Keene.[1] It
    outs several traditional opening principles, as Black often develops bishops before knights and brings out the
    queen early.[1] It is a somewhat unusual opening, but has
    been seen in high-level grandmaster play, usually as a surprise weapon, for example when Viktor Korchnoi used it
    to defeat Lev Polugaevsky in their world championship
    seminals match at vian 1977 (see below).
