The Edinburgh Opening
09 Oct '09 21:53Someone asked if there was an Ebinburgh Opening?
Schiller has named a variation of the Caro Kann the
Edinburgh Variation because it was played 'once' at the
British Championships held in Edinburgh in 1986.
But I put forward a new Edinburgh Variation.
It starts from this position.
Yes the Black King & Queen are on the wrong square.
A game was played like this at the Edinburgh Congress in error
and I thought I would never see the correct score so composed this
possibility.
However I did get the exact score of the game a few days later.
I cannot show it because Black castles! but it is here and
the whole incredible story.

I had to show at as a moving gif thing. It's not long.
Amazing. Quite possibly the first recorded game of Fischer Chess
to be played in a real chess tournament.
OK Robbie - you now show a Glasgow Opening.
