Jan-24-06   Fischer of Men: I just added it.
Feb-12-06   Fischer of Men: Apparently that game is ECO C31 so it was already in the database.

  ganstaman: I used to be scared of the Falkbeer, but now I realize that it gives white similar developmental advantage and central control as the KGA without the investment of a pawn. I'm certainly not scared anymore.
