[edit] Cochrane Gambit

It would be interesting to see an analysis of the Cochrane Gambit with a good refutation or defense leading to equality.

[edit] Float left or float right?

For the main diagram in the openings articles do we want to float left or float right?

Float right fits in better with the way that a normal article would be formatted -- text to the left and the illustrative image to the right. But I think that chess opening articles are different and look a bit better with the diagram on the left.

What do others think about this?

(If we float right, the margin should be a margin-left rather than a margin-right to leave some space between the diagram and the text. That is, either style="float: right; margin-left: 1em" or style="float: left; margin-right: 1em;".)

The link to "Petrov's Three Knights Game" takes to the same page. Isn't it supposed to be a separate article?

[edit] Lasker-Pillsbury

"Pillsbury's game in 1896 against Emmanuel Lasker testifies to this."

I think the game was in 1895, not 1896. The database at www.chessgames.com only has two Petrov Defense games between Lasker and Pillsbury, and both were in 1895. This game Ref: http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1109091 (Lasker-Pillsbury) is probably the one referred to in the text; the opening moves are: 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.Nxe5 d6 4.Nf3 Nxe4 5.d4 d5. --B.d.mills 02:00, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
