Incorrect. 1 c4 is the English opening.
So what is c3?
c3 i think is called the saragossa. But honestly, 1.c3 can lead to transpositions. for example. 1.c3 c5 2.e4 [c3 sicilian], or also to Colle system type set ups aswell as Kings indian attack. I wont give the transpositions as i suppose there are many ways to get them.
Irregular... and strange! what is the point of this move? the advance d4 requires no preparation, you merely deny your queenside knight of it's most natural square. It's probably time that you read that beginner's book, that you have been putting off.
I have heard that I use the English opening. c3. Is this correct?
