Schlechter: Hi, Nice to play you again. I hope we have two good games. } 2. Nf3 { BogusAurelius: Hi, yes good games. } 2... Nc6 3. Bb5 Nd4 4. Nxd4 { BogusAurelius: i remember reading about this move in the 50's. i'm getting ancient. I think it was archives from little articles by Euwe. } 4... exd4 { C. H. O'D. Schlechter: It is good old Henry Bird's defense to the Lopez. Objectively it is certainly not Black's best but it is playable. I take it you have an interest in chess history, yes? } 5. O-O { BogusAurelius: I've given up chess so many times - each time i have to get a new library, it's a compulsion, and a complaint about life i think. it's not a religion any more, just an escape. } 5... Bc5 { C. H. O'D. Schlechter: Well, it is a wonderful but maddening game. } 6. d3 c6 7. Bc4 d5 8. Bb3 Ne7 9. Nd2 O-O 10. Nf3 a5 11. a4 Bg4 12. h3 Be6 13. Ng5 Bd7 14. Qh5 h6 15. Nf3 Be6 16.
