Mar-27-04  morphyvsfischer: chessgames.com, this looks like a Closed Catalan to me.
Apr-09-08  Knight13: 7...Nc6 is crazy. Karpov deserves his name to be after this opening move!

8. Bxc6 is crazy too. Give up good bishop for stupid knight. 8. Nxc6 is better, and who wouldn't agree? Only Grandmasters I bet.

Aug-29-12  bobbylee: Not the first time Korchnoi had played this way. Look at the first game of his 1977 Candidates Quarterfinal against Petrosian.
