| mulde: My very compliments on your niece. Well, to investigate more about Mr. Al Cunningham, we easily can have a look in Wiki:

"Alexander Cunningham of Block (1655–1730) was a Scottish jurist, and chess player. (...)" |

Nov-08-21 Conrad Waldemar Vitzthum von Eckstaedt
| |
| mulde: Well, lets call him Conny.
He usualy played with black, seemingly. And he was good enough to get games with heroes like Max Lange, Kolisch, Schallopp, Dubois and even ANDERSSEN. |

Jun-26-21 R Lean vs E G Sergeant, 1908
| |
| mulde: Mr. Sargeant is well known since today but Mr. Lean seems to be forgotten or unknown in our times.
However, this iis one of the early games with b4 / d4 i the Sicilian. The modern way in this gambit is to go on with a3 and c4 (con. -d5) instead of 3.d4, but Leans move doesn't look ... |

Jun-23-21 Staunton vs NN, 1841
| |
| mulde: Very nice played by "Shakespeare" Staunton (1819 - 1874) who may be (the best and) most underestimated player of all times. He was the first "theoretican", and couldn't use only one elucidation of any predecessor. In some campaign he was demolished in oublic when he, an old and ill ... |

More than this, his arrangement is a highly flexible one. White's position after move 3 can be reached in an Alekhine as ... |

Sep-20-19 Marshall vs R Loman, 1902
| |
| mulde: This "Willy Loman" Gambit may be correct, and is almost great fun to play. Tarrasch's nice 2.-Qa5 is quite a rare move in our days but seemingly it comes up with an early -b7-b5-b4 and very sharp play. |

Sep-18-19 G MacDonnell vs A Mongredien, 1862
| |
| mulde: Why is it called "Bird Variation" here? What had Old Henry to do with that?
On the base of its founder Alcock, let me suggest to call it "Penguin-Variation". Why that? a) To name it somehow with George... is the same as to call it "London...": Senseless confusing. b) To take ... |
