ENGLISH OPENING. [...] 1.c4 e5This opening was introduced by the English player H. Staunton in his 1843 match vs. P. Saint Amant. If Black replies with 1... e5, White can play the Sicilian Defense with colors reversed and an extra tempo.

ENGLISH OPENING, THE DRAGON SYSTEM WITH COLORS REVERSED.

[...] 1.c4 e5 2.¤c3 ¤c6 3.¤f3 ¤f6 4.g3 d5 5.cxd5 ¤xd5 6.¥g2One of the principal systems in the English Opening. A position from the Dragon Variation has arisen, with colors reversed and, consequently, with an extra tempo for White. Thus many ideas, which are typical in this position, were taken from the Sicilian Defense.

ATTACK ON THE QUEENSIDE. [...] 9.a3! (The half-opened c-file and the active bishop on the long diagonal dictate White the plan of a queenside attack. An advance of the a- and b-pawns is typical in the similar positions.) 
9...a5 (Preventing b2-b4 but weakening Black's own queenside) 
10.¥e3 O-O 11.¤a4! (A typical method. An exchange of the b6-knight helps White to get to Black's weakened queenside) 
11...¤xa4 12.£xa4 ¥d5 13.¦fc1 ¦e8 14.¦c2 ¥f8 15.¦ac1¤b8?! (Black intends to neutralize the white pressure along the c-file by means of c7-c6)
