Mar-11-05		sandyobrien: Staunton lost 2 games against Cochrane using the strange 3. Bd3, he nor anyone in this database used it again.

Jul-06-05		lentil: cochrane is the one who lost

Jul-06-05		sandyobrien: That's what I meant, excuse my mistake.

Jul-04-07		PAWNTOEFOUR: can someone show me the purpose of 3.Bd3?

Feb-04-09		YoungEd: I know that in the "Kopec system" for White against the Sicilian, the bishop first goes to d3 with the idea of later finding a more permanent home on c2. From there it can support the center and maybe aim at h7 eventually. That doesn't seem to be Cochrane's intention here, though, so <PAWNTOEFOUR> my answer to your question is "No!"

Feb-04-09		furrer: How can you answer no?

Feb-04-09		YoungEd: No, I don't know the purpose of <Cochrane's> use of d3! Maybe it was a bit presumptuous; it looks as though I tried to answer for us all, when it could be just me who doesn't know! :)

Feb-09-09		TheTamale: He sought to find a permanent home for the bishop, a square on which the bishop could remain unmolested come hell or high water, and to that end he succeeded admirably.
