A standard though unpopular flank opening sometimes called the Dutch Attack by its analogy with the Dutch Defence (ie. White playing the Dutch with a move in hand), but named after English player Henry Bird (1830-1908) because of his consistent adoption of it from 1873 onwards. |
| If White's 1.P-KB4 (move 1, left) is left unchallenged White usually goes on to fianchetto his queen's bishop in a mirror-position of the English Opening, but it is more often countered by From's Gambit (1..P-K4) against which White's transposition into the King's Gambit is probably the best answer. |
