I am a bit puzzled by this. Like any other new opening I am playing it and playing it with limited sucess. here are my first couple of moves that I usually do this is not including any black moves
1c4 2Nc3 3Nf3 4g3 5 Bg2 6B3 7 Bb2 8.Qc2 9 0-0
This allows great diagnals for my bishops it also allows my queen to put pressure on the h7 square when black castles later on in the game. Is this type of thinking flawed. After move 9 or 10 i begin to make mistakes if anyone can recreate a scenario so that I can further understand this opening. Until then I suspect that about 200 or so loses should be ample to tell me that i need to do something different.

Originally posted by deathbypawnThose moves are little weird. In the English, the Normal moves played are 1. c4, 2. g3, 3. Bg2, 4. Nc3, and then it deviates from there. If you are gonna play the opening like you are, play those moves but instead of Nc3, play d3 and Nd2, and emit Qc2 for now.
