I'm afraid I don't watch your games that closely.

Why do you have a bishop on c3 in the first place?

How in the hell do you block your c1 bishop playing the English (1. c4)?

yes, cheers.

It dawned on me. The majority of my Englich openings. I find myself losing timing trying to get my c1 bishop out.

Just thought ~I would post it to see if people could Identify with this.

But I suppose I should just look at a database somewhere online to see how other people / grandmasters avoid this problem.

Because RHP community just seem to want a quick "one liner" for a quick laugh.
