Sep-06-05		Juan De Pisto: Add that Schiffers was a very old player! Maybe for this Chigo was overconfident.

Sep-13-06		Minty: <Juan De Pisto: Add that Schiffers was a very old player! Maybe for this Chigo was overconfident> Schiffers was only 6 months older than Chigorin. They were both about 45 when this game was played.
