Mikenas Attack (Mikenas-Carls Variation) · English Opening Theory
The Mikenas Attack is a great attempt to prevent some of black's most powerful ideas against the English Opening. By playing e4, white is claiming control over the d5 square and forcing black to play it under unfavorable circumstances.
