Interesting opening moves. I particularly dislike it when queen's pawn is the first move of the game whenever I play. Always feels like I can't get things set up right when white plays queen's pawn instead of king's pawn.

What do you think about 1. c4?

[RapeU]

c4 allows me to make a few opening moves that I normally like to make, but more cautiously since white's queen is in better position to attack.

@RapeU I'm not a big fan of the English opening...
