[edit] old talk
I've moved this article back to Johannes Zukertort (which I believe was its original location) from Jan Herman Zukertort--I admit I don't know what name Zukertort was born with (it doesn't seem impossible that he was born Jan, but came to use Joahnnes in later life), but I'm pretty sure that he is today more often called "Johannes" (or even "Johann") that he is "Jan". If somebody knows that he was, in fact, born "Jan", then that's probably worth mentioning in the article, but, following Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names), the article should in any case remain at "Johannes". --Camembert
[edit] Zukertort Opening
Was the above captioned opening named for Johannes Zukertort, and if so, why did it come to be called so ?
Joe Gatt 08:42, 22 May 2007 (UTC) Quotation from the main article on 22/5/08 follws:- 'Poor health and lack of physical stamina appeared to be one of Zukertort's two long-term weaknesses: some commentators attributed to illness the severity of his defeat in the 1972 match against Steinitz;[9] in the 1883 London tournament he won 22 of his first 23 games, enough to give him an uncatchable lead, but lost his last 3 games;' IN THE SECOND LINE THERE IS THE DATE 1972 - COULD THIS BE WRONG? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.104.238.74 (talk) 20:46, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
