Oct-04-08		Karpova: Nikolay Minev on 3...Be7: <"Batsford Chess Openings" names this the Alatortsev variation. Here is a game played and annotated by Alapin, when Alatortsev was just one years old. Furthermore, Alatortsev played only a few games with "...Be7", much fewer, for example, than Petrosian, and did not make any interesting contributions to the theory of the variation. But to be fair to Alatortsev, he never claimed to be the author of this idea.> Nikolay Minev on 4.e4: <Today's preferred continuations are 4.cxd5 exd5 5.Bf4 or 4.Nf3.> Nikolay Minev on 6.Ng3: <A novelty as far as recent theory goes. "ECO" shows only 6.Nxf6+?! and 6.Nc3=.> Minev, Nikolay: "Historical Perspectives on Chess: Simon Alapin", http://www.chesscafe.com/text/skitt...
