Mar-14-09 Staunton vs Saint-Amant, 1843 
| |
| Count Isouard III: according to the book Howard Staunton by Keene & Coles, Saint Amant missed the point when he played 5..exd4 because this variation is the strong point variation- he should have held onto his e5 point-not surrender the center with his 5th move. |

| |
| Count Isouard III: the black pawn wouldnt queen, only whites would. The white queen will check the king and can stop the blk pawn by pinning it against the black queen preventing its advance. |

| Count Isouard III: this was the turning point for gligoric - after this game he decided to play the kings indian defense - he says in his book - i would rather play with a greater degree of risk than lose another game like that- referring to the game above |
