link to person?[edit]

It might be a good idea to link to the person, as I did with Lolli. Bubba73 (talk), 03:04, 26 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Purpose?[edit]

Whats the purpose of this. It seems a bit of an odd thing for an article. SunCreator (talk) 22:09, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notability[edit]

See comments on notability at Talk:List of chess openings named after places as they apply here as well. HyperCapitalist (talk) 01:39, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I replied there. --MrsHudson (talk) 05:51, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Brentano Defense[edit]

I believe Brentano Defense was Franz Brentano. http://www.chess-poster.com/english/chesmayne/brief_notes_on_the_history_of_chess_1900_1.htm SunCreator (talk) 14:17, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, SunCreator, I think you are right. --MrsHudson (talk) 14:22, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bill Wall's list[edit]

Shoud we use Bill Wall's list of chess openings [1] as reliable source? I just added it to the Fleissig Variation of the Scotch Game, as there was nothing better. --MrsHudson (talk) 14:37, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Worth adding the ref but not sure it would be considered a WP:RS. For Fleissig variation you could also add http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1001605. SunCreator (talk) 14:57, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But this link does not show Fleissig's authorship. --MrsHudson (talk) 15:03, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your quite right. SunCreator (talk) 15:20, 28 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Error in Gajewski Gambit[edit]

Something is wrong with the Gajewski Gambit - in the line mentioned here Black castles twice (moves 7 and 8). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.41.20.105 (talk) 08:55, 31 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Milner-Barry variation of the French[edit]

Am I missing it or is the Milner-Barry variation missing? It is pretty well-known. Could someone more competent that I include it?

His own page mentions three opening variations named after him. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alanobrien (talk • contribs) 22:52, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Dilworth in the open Spanish[edit]

Same with Dilworth. i'd do it myself but it seems too complicated for me. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alanobrien (talk • contribs) 23:02, 11 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Schmidt and Colle–Zukertort[edit]

I think that Schmidt variation of the Scotch has to be included, as well as Colle–Zukertort System. Šaholjubac (talk) 16:06, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

remove IM title?[edit]

When I tried to use this list for some automated processing, I noticed that "International Master Hélder Câmara" is the only instance where a name is preceded by any such title, all other names are directly preceded by "named after" (or "...and...") which makes parsing easy. I wonder whether there's any reason to put the IM title for Câmara but for no-one else. (some would merit more imortant titles like GM, "World Champion" etc.... So I wonder whether (and think that) it should not be present (i.e., removed) in this particular instance, for the sake of uniformity. — MFH:Talk 02:58, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

PS: same for "Texas master Ken Smith". — MFH:Talk 22:23, 11 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
