Jul-13-04		patzer2: The player with the Black pieces is Victor Palciauskas, the Tenth World Correspondence Champion. His play helped popularize 3...Nc6!? as a popular move for declining White's gambit offer after 1. e4 e5 2. d5 exd4 3. c3!? Note that the move 4...Nf6!? completes the transposition to a key variation of the Goering Gambit declined, which Palciauskas also popularized.

Jul-13-04		chessgames.com: Apparently either "Victor" or "Vytas" is correct. A biography is here: http://www.correspondencechess.com/...

Dec-07-04		InspiredByMorphy: Outstanding game by black. 9. ...Kf7 and 14. ...c5 are great moves.
