[edit] English Defence
With the move 1....b6 Black prepares to develop the Queenside Bishop, it's also a flexible option when played with the e6 development as Black has various ideas involving the e6, Nf6, Bb4, Bb7 moves.
White likely to respond with one of the following:
-
- 2. c4 A standard reply, White continues in Queen Gambit formation ready to play e4.
- 2. Nf3 May transpose into a Queen's Indian Defence.
- 2. e4 This move order arrives at a Owen's Defence
