  tpstar: Argh. I've always had good results against 6. Re1 with 6 ... Nc5 7. Bxc6 dxc6 8. Nxe5 Be7 9. d4 Ne6 and the Ne6 changes the board dynamics. But how does Black untangle the Queenside? The QR can't develop until the QB moves, and the QB can't develop until the Ne6 moves. After 10. Be3 0-0 11. Nc3 I believe 11 ... f6 is necessary, otherwise 12. f4 and the Ne5 dominates the action. On 12. Nf3 Fritz likes 12 ... Qe8 13. d5 [13. Qd3 Qf7] cd 14. Nxd5 Bd6 15. Nh4 f5 [0.28/13] yet I wonder if Black has better strategy with 8 ... Be6 9. d4 Nd7 instead followed by ... 0-0-0 A Pitonakova vs E Egorova, 2001

  mifralu: This game was played on <22 June 1872> and Leopold Hoffer didn't play.

According to <The Westminster Papers, 1 July 1872>, it was Zukertort's first serious contest after his arrival in London.
