Moves : e5 e6 ? f5 c5 Nf6 d5 (back)
Position after : f4 , last edited by Thibault de Vassal (2407) [2006 May 12] |
Bird's Opening is named after the 19th century English master, Henry Bird.
According to ChessBase, in master level chess, out of the twenty possible opening moves, 1.f4 ranks seventh in popularity. It is much less popular than 1.c4 (the English Opening) mainly because 1.f4 weakens the king's position slightly.
