English Opening: King's English Variation, Kramnik-Shirov CounterattackBETA
The most challenging response, White counterattacks the bishop with the move Nd5. Now Black has a couple of options.
Black plays an early Bb4, immediately threatening to weaken White's pawn structure after the trade Bxc3.
This line was popularized by Vladimir Kramnik and Alexei Shirov, who played the opening in slightly different ways.
