Bird's Opening - named after the 19th century English master Henry Bird, who developed this opening. Among the flank openings, unlike the very popular English opening, the Bird's Opening is not considered the most promising way to gain an advantage due to the early weakening of the white kingside. Therefore, this opening is rarely encountered in grandmaster practice. Among the high-class players who sometimes used this move are Bent Larsen and Mikhail Gurevich.
