Aug-22-05    Gantastic: Amusing how the Opening Explorer contains over a hundred "examples" of the line: 1. c4 e6 2. Nf3 d5 3. g3 Nf6 4. Bg2 Be7 5. O-O O-O 6. d4 dxc4 7. Qc2 a6 8. Qxc4 b5 9. Qc2 Bb7 10. Bd2 Be4 11. Qc1 Bb7 12. Qc2 Be4 13. Qc1 Bb7 14. Qc2 Be4 15. Qc1 Bb7 16. Qc2 Be4 17. Qc1 Bb7 18. Qc2 Be4 19. Qc1 Bb7 20. Qc2 Caused by OE's inclusion of transpositions, but amusing nonetheless, particularly because Qc2/Be4/Qc1/Bb7 are in each case the most common move for their respective positiions. Apr-17-06    WTHarvey: Here are 20 traps and zaps in E05 Catalan Miniatures: http://www.wtharvey.com/e05.html What's the best move? Jul-09-08    Cactus: <WTHarvey> You've managed to advertise your site on almost every ECO site. Jan-10-09    Cactus: Looking back, I apologise. By the way, do you make the puzzles yourself? Nov-18-10    rapidcitychess: Can anyone give a good summary of the open Catalan? I've been playing it for a month or two, but only by ear.
