The English and the French have a storied rivalry and history. I was curious if the two clash just as much on the chess board as in history.

Has anyone ever came across 1. c4 e6. How did it turn out?

its a simple generic reply, there is a rather brilliant and quite famous game of Nakamura in this line, Krasenkow v Nakamura, I posted a video originally done by national master Rene Phillips on my youtube channel, you can check it out here,
