Chess Opening Theory/1. c4/1...e5

=English Opening=

1...e5
This move creates a reverse Sicilian but it's White's move and the aim for White to create an advantage leads generally to different positions. White's choices are now:
 * 2. Nc3, the normal move
 * 2. g3 many transposition possibilities
 * 2. Nf3 can lead to a reversed Alekhine's Defence of sorts if Black replies with ...e4, with the option of cxd5 if Black tries to advance the d-pawn
 * 2. d4 gives away any advantage
