The Symmetrical English is a chess opening theory book from The House Of Staunton focused on the major ideas and variations arising from 1 c4 c5.
It covers the full range of lines stemming from the English Opening, from the sedate Symmetrical Variation to the wild gambit lines of the Anti-Benoni. It also discusses important related positions that often arise from other openings, including the Semi-Tarrasch and lines where White avoids a Benko or Benoni. A particular highlight is the Hedgehog, a practical system for playing for a win without taking undue risks.
Hansen shows that even lines many players consider boring or uninteresting can become lively with the right understanding of the subtleties.
