Nov-23-04    ruylopez900: Hmm, I seem to recall this variation being called the Classical. But maybe I'm just messing up the position of a knight or something. Nov-23-04    tomh72000: Classical is with Bf4, I thought. Nov-25-04    tomh72000: 1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6 3.Nc3 d5 4.Bf4 Bg7 is the Classical Variation. Nov-29-04    Dillinger: In MCO 5.Qb3 is called the Classical Variation while 5.Bf4 is just called the (drumroll) Lines with 5.Bf4. Go figure. Nov-29-04    PinkPanther: I've always known this as the Classical Variation, as well as the Russian Variation.
