1. c4 repertoire?

Can someone give me a good repertoire on English Opening?
Perhaps a book.

Thanks!

Just start any opening in the analysis tab, which will guide you to better opening repertoire. lichess.org/analysis @yierstem

The two openings I play against C4 are the symmetrical variation, and the reverse Sicilian. I tend to find the reverse Sicilian to be pretty sharp, with attacking chances, and the symmetrical tends to be pretty positional.

Christof Sielecki has a video series on chess24.

The repertoire in Tony Kosten's book is great. I don't think it's worth worrying about the book coming out in 1999 -- the lines are still relevant today.

I know @TonyRo has adapted many parts of that book into his repertoire (at least in the past). You could take a look at some of his games as white to see if they are the style of positions that you would enjoy.

Some chess book suggestions:

'Grandmaster repertoire - the english opening' (Marin 2010). These are three books. Marin suggests a repertoire with 1.c4 and 2.g3. He explains the strategical motifs and gives a complete repertoire. I liked this very much, Marin is a good author.

Other books (i have not read them)

'How to Play the English Opening in Chess' (Karpov 2007)
'Chess Explained: The English Opening' (Franco 2006)
'The Dynamic English: The aggressive player's guide to a traditional chess opening' (Kosten 1999)

I suggest courses and training.

I play the English all the time and have done for near 30 years. The main replies against the English are 1...e5, 1...Nf6, 1...e6, 1...c6 and some people play 1...f5, 1...d5 or even 1...nc6

(i)1...e5 is best met by the four knights variation which after 2 nc3 Nf6, 3 Nf3!! Nc6, 4 g3 d5 we have got to a reversed Sicilian dragon. This is by far the best English to achieve after 1...e5 although black maintains a minute plus. Note in that line 3...e4 is a three-knights variation best responded by 4 Ng5

(ii)1...Nf6 Black could be aiming for a kings indian defence (1d4 nf6, 2c4 g6)or a nimzo-indian(1d4 Nf6, 2c4 e6) transposition a line I play against the kings indian defence which is good and rare is the clamp :- 1 c4 nf6, 2 nc3 g6, 3 e4 d6, 4 d3 bg7, 5 f4 c5(or e5) the idea is just to close the center and push your pawns on the kingside while watching out for the counter attack which is likely to come via the weakened d4 square or a queenside push. in the nimzo-indian an English anti-nimzo-indian line goes 1 c4 nf6, 2 nc3 e6, 3 e4 and then the knight can be pushed with e5 next move.

I played constantly 1. ... b6(!) and recently 1. ... g6.

Flexibility rules!

(iii) 1...e6 can often transpose into a queens pawn opening after 2 nc3 d5!! when I play 3 e3 to avoid the queens gambit accepted which can get a bit nasty for an English players tastes. after 3 e3 comes 3...Nf6 4 d4 and we have a queens gambit declined game with e3 being played

(iv) 1...c6 can transpose into the slav or semi-slav.

(v)1..f5 is an anglo-dutch or you could just play the dutch with 2 d4- the anglo-dutch often goes 1c4 f5, 2 nc3 nf6, 3 d3 g6, 4 e4
