Mihail Marin completes his opening repertoire for White with 1.c4, the English Opening, by covering 1.c4 c5.

His previous books for Quality Chess have established him as one of the world's best chess authors. Marin's recent tournament successes, using this repertoire, increased his rating to a personal best of 2616.
