Jan-02-07		Resignation Trap: Chigorin tries the Steinitz Gambit against its inventor!

Oct-20-07		schnarre: That's one way to put it!

Oct-20-07		IMlday: 11.h4!? White has space and looks better.

Oct-21-07		RookFile: Chigorin's Nb5 and Nxa7 actually reminds one of Korchnoi's play against the King's Indian.

Oct-21-07		schnarre: 11. h4 looks worth a try--I like the idea of the h3-c8 diagonal being opened up as well. I found myself looking initially at 11. a4, but h4 looks to be the better of the two.

Feb-29-08		Knight13: But I don't like the idea of Black having pawns on BOTH SIDES WITH A PAWN UP WITH A BISHOP VS KNIGHT and can't do anything.

Feb-07-19		Straclonoor: Stainitz could won the game. Instead of 27....Qh4? he should play 27...Rf3! or 27...Rh4 with decisive advantage.
