Dec-04-22  YoungEd: Well, technically this may be a Van Geet (Dunst), but after move two it's a Vienna, so I don't really think it should count. White lets a Bishop go to force a perpetual...not the most ambitious!

  fredthebear: Yes, YoungEd, it transposes to a Vienna Game C25-27.

The ECO Code C50 is for the Italian Game.

The ECO Code A00 is for the Van Geet (Dunst) and other unorthodox openings.

  perfidious: <YoungEd>, indeed it is, and after White's fifth move it is an Italian, the reason the opening code was modified to C50.

In case <fredthebore> has not yet gotten the drift, amidst his latest dissertation of nothingness masquerading as content.

I agree, though: Schlechter's opening was not terribly ambitious and serves as an object example why so many of these lines fell out of fashion for White by early in the last century, in favour of the Spanish Torture.

  fredthebear: My stalker does not read well. He repeats the two prior posts as if we don't know what we're talking about. Pervicious insists on playing the role of jackass at any cost to his tarnished reputation.
