| 731: This Carls guy seems to like 1.c4. I think c4 (english) is called Bremerparti in germany thanks to him. Notice the way he always fianchetto's the kings bishop and plays d3, if you go through his games it seems like e6 is the most common reply to his c4, the best reply against his system they figured, I guess. The staunton-system is similiar, where c4, Nc3, g3, Bg2 are also played, but the king's knight goes to e2 after playing e3 in the staunton-system and then 0-0. Does anyone know why the staunton system isn't very popular? |

| niklas: What do you mean? A reason for unpopularity would be that it rendered a win against one of the best players ever? I play the Staunton almost exclusively, however I am but a novice, and often trips on blunders, but the system helps me lower the rate of them. I think the Staunton system is not popular due to another reason: white does not try use his initial tempo in order to get an edge. Instead he calmly sets up his pieces almost ignoring black, and thereby black quickly gets an equal game. |

| Kaspy2: <731> you're right. Carl Carls invented English A24 "Bremen system". too bad, no game yet uploaded. He lived in the City of Bremen, Germany (30 km from here) and is the cities most famous chess son. |

| Kaspy2: saying goes he never played anything but 1.e4. One time they glued the e2-pawn to the board, so he shattered the stuff all over the place... |

| vonKrolock: Interesting - it seems that Emil Gelenczei refers to Carlos Torre as merely analising the Schuster-Carls game, and overlooking the variation 11. d2 gxf2!! as others did too. Curious, that I used to have the Martinez Roca Spanish edition of the Gelenczei work originally publihed in Hungary in 1958, but was not recalling immediatelly that it showed the featured game... |
