The English Opening, initiated by 1. c4, is a highly strategic and intricate opening. As an enthusiast of the Catalan Opening, I have always been interested by the idea of incorporating a 1. c4 2. g3 setup. However, my extensive experience with 1. d4 left me with limited familiarity with 1. c4. Until now, I had never played the English Opening in a slow time control. While the game wasn't flawless, I was always the one in control.
