The 19th Century Today
If you believe 19th century openings are
history, we got news for you. They are very much alive and surround us
more than ever before.
The voices of the past have a familiar ring to today's masters and
grandmasters, and they often use them to their advantage.
THE URUSOV GAMBIT
In the 19th century, Sergey Semenyenovich Urusov (1827-1897) introduced
the gambit opening 1.e4 e5 2.Bc4 Nf6 3.d4 ed4 4.Nf3 Ne4 5.Qd4. Opening
Theory is still not finished with this.
LA GRANDE VARIANTE
Many variations of the Open Ruy Lopez have come and gone. La Grande
Variante has stood its ground since the 19th century. Its mysteries are
still unsolved, but we are getting closer.
STEINITZ VARIATION
How much space would Wilhelm Steinitz have needed to analyse his favourite
move 4...Qh4 in the 19th century? Today, theoretician Lev Gutman requires
no fewer than 272 packed pages.
