May-06-04		Honza Cervenka: 28.Qh5?? is a grievous oversight, but after 28.g3 f4! 29.Bxf4 Qe4 30.gxh4 Qxf4 black has an advantage.

May-06-04		TrueFiendish: ...Qe4 conveys a tactic as simple as it is unusual, as evidenced by Marshall's missing it. I think if the h4 knight had been a d5 bishop he would never have missed it.

Apr-10-10		kjr63: Why is this called "old indian" opening? There is nothing old nor indian in this chigorin system. Rasism against the old indian players and their openings?
