Secrets of Opening Surprises

Jan-17-03    THE GENERAL: where can i find a little paper-bound book of tournament games published in leipzig? Jan-17-03    ughaibu: I think you'll need to know the publisher or the isbn. Jan-18-03    THE GENERAL: it is said to contain a dashing-looking queen's gambit and a 59 move win by capablanca. Jan-18-03    ughaibu: The details are still too sparse for me to be able to offer any useful advice. Jan-18-03    THE GENERAL: the only other thing i know it that it must have been out before 1942. Jan-26-04    Kenkaku: The opening line that Pillsbury put on the map. I wonder where QGD theory would be today if he hadn't, against staunch opposition (Gunsberg for one said that NO good comes of this), advocated 4. Bg5. Mar-01-04    Dillinger: The position arising after 1.d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3.Nc3 c5 4.Nf3 Nf6 5.Bg5 cxd4 is also known as the Been-Koomen variation according to CM9000. Anybody know the origin of the name? White knights dominate. Sep-24-04    Knight13: As I know, not much people play this kind of opening.
