When I was young and played the Modern Benoni, the books called the White setup with Bd3 and Nge2 the "Penrose vs Tal Line", after their game from the 1960 Olympiad (although if memory serves, Ojanen vs Keres was the actual stem game).  It's been many years since I played the Benoni, and a quick google suggests that it's called the "Penrose Attack" these days.

Good ones!  How about. . .

Smith-Morra Gambit
Colle-Zukertort opening
Lasker-Pelikan variation of the Sicilian
Nimzo-Larsen opening
Richter-Rauzer variation of the Sicilian
Bronstein-Larsen variation of the Caro-Kann (..gxf6)

and, my all-time favorite with fictional characters,

the Frankenstein-Dracula variation in the Vienna   Grin

Philip Stuart Milner-Barry was one guy, not two ....
Wilkes-Barre especially does not count, because the variation was invented by a Czech monk named Traxler.
The Hort-Antosjin is not really named after that game, as Hort himself later played it as Black on several occasions.

A few other candidates:
Blackmar-Diemer Gambit
Von Hennig-Schara Gambit
Von Jänisch-Schliemann Gambit
Geller-Tolusj Gambit

and of course: the Caro-Kann!
  

The book had the effect good books usually have: it made the stupids more stupid, the intelligent more intelligent and the other thousands of readers remained unchanged.

I think that the Hort-Antoshin is best thought of as being to the Leningrad what the Old-Indian is to the King's-Indian or the Philidor is to the Pirc. (d7-d6, e7-e5, c7-c6, Qd8-c7, Bf8-e7 as stock moves in all three with a restrained dark-squared strategy.) Antoshin used to play the first-named defenses as a regular part of his repertoire. He is an interesting and neglected Soviet-era theorist and player whose influence was overshadowed by the dynamic styles of Boleslavsky, Botvinnik, Bronstein et al in the early 50s.

I believe that as well as having been played by both Hort and Antoshin, one of the stem games of the variation is one actually played by Hort and Antoshin in the 1960s, which probably makes it the only opening variation named after a game rather than a player or place. (Anyway, how many double-barreled variations are there? Milner-Barry, I suppose. Wilkes-Barre doesn't count, because it's a place....)

After a brief (read: 2 year) vacation from tournament chess and this website, I came back to try to finish the work I started only to find that the articles are no longer at the link that was originally posted in this thread. Does anyone know another place to find these articles on the Antoshin?

The following is the third article on the Antoshin Dutch by Hebert Pérez García. The notes and analysis are solely his.

Dutch Defense – Antoshin Variation, Note Three
By Hebert Pérez García 
Translated by Mitchell A. Stern

1.d4 f5 2.c4 Nf6 3.Nc3 d6 4.Nf3 c6 5.g3 Qc7 6.Bg2 e5 7.dxe5 dxe5 8.0–0 Bb4 It is also possible to reach this position through a different move order. Modern theory indicates that white cannot obtain any advantage in the opening if he opts for the alternatives 9. Qc2, 9. Bd2 or 9. Na4 instead of 9. Qb3, which we have examined in the previous articles

I) Let’s look at 9. Qc2

(1) Reshko - Safarov [A86]
USSR, 1977
1.d4 f5 2.c4 Nf6 3.g3 d6 4.Bg2 c6 5.Nf3 Qc7 6.Nc3 e5 7.dxe5 dxe5 8.0–0 Bb4 9.Qc2 e4!? an invention of Antoshin [Black can also play 9...0–0 see the games Matlak-Kuczynski and Ignatiev-Chechelnicki below] 10.Nd4 0–0 [It is also worth considering 10...Qf7 11.b3 Bc5 12.Rd1 Na6 13.a3 0–0 14.Na4 Be7 15.f4 Nc7 16.Bd2 with mutual chances. S.J. Arambel - H. Pérez García, Olavarría 1974] 11.a3 [Another possibility is 11.Bf4 Qf7 12.Na4 which was suggested by M. Botvinnik. Nevertheless, Bulgarian theoretician Minev's suggestion of 12...Be7 followed by 13...Be6 and Nbd7, or 13...Nbd7 and Nc5 or Nb6, appears to alleviate black of any problems] 11...Bc5 12.e3 Qf7 13.Qe2 Nbd7 14.b4 Bxd4 15.exd4 Nb6 16.c5? [According to Botvinnik, white should sacrifice a pawn with 16.d5!? with compensation due to positional pressure along the a1–h8 diagonal. In any case, black's position is not worse] 16...Nbd5 17.Nxd5 Nxd5 18.Be3 Be6 19.Qd2 Rae8 20.a4 h6 21.Ra3 g5 22.f4 exf3 23.Bxf3 f4 24.Bf2 Bh3 25.Re1 Ne3! by means of offering a pawn, black assures himself decisive control of the f-file and, consequently, victory 26.Bxe3 fxe3 27.Rexe3 Rxe3 28.Qxe3 g4 29.Qxh6 Qf5 and white resigned 0–1


(2) Ignatiev - Chechelnicki [A86]
USSR, 1964
1.d4 f5 2.c4 Nf6 3.g3 d6 4.Bg2 c6 5.Nf3 Qc7 6.Nc3 e5 7.dxe5 dxe5 8.0–0 Bb4 9.Qc2 0–0 10.a3 Be7 11.e4 f4 12.gxf4 exf4 13.e5 Ng4 14.Qe4 Nd7 15.Ne2 Nc5 16.Qc2 Nxe5 17.Qc3 Ng6 18.Ned4 a5 19.Re1 Bf6 20.Bd2 Rd8 21.Rad1 Bg4 22.Bc1 Qc8 23.Qc2 Nh4 24.Nxh4 Bxd1 25.Rxd1 Rxd4 26.Rxd4 Bxd4 27.Nf5 Qd8 28.Bxf4 Nd3 29.Bd6 Ne1 30.Qe4 Nxg2 31.Be7 Bxf2+ 32.Kxf2 Qd2+ 33.Kf3 Ne1+ 34.Kg4 Qg2+ 35.Qxg2 Nxg2 36.Kf3 Ne1+ 37.Ke2 Re8 38.Kd1 g6 39.Nh6+ Kg7 40.Bg5 Nf3 41.Bf4 g5 42.Nf5+ Kg6 43.Nd6 Re1+ 0–1

(3) Matlak,Marek (2390) - Kuczynski,Robert (2450) [A86]
POL-ch, 1987
1.Nf3 f5 2.d4 d6 3.g3 Nf6 4.Bg2 c6 5.0–0 Qc7 6.c4 e5 7.dxe5 dxe5 8.Nc3 Bb4 9.Qc2 0–0 10.a3 Be7 11.Rd1!? a5 12.Na4 Ne4 13.Be3 Nd7 14.c5 Ndf6 15.Nb6 Rb8 with an initiative for white 16.Qc4+ Kh8 17.Ng5 Nxg5 18.Bxg5 f4 19.gxf4 h6 20.fxe5 hxg5 21.exf6 Rxf6 22.Nxc8 Rxc8 23.Rd3 Rh6 24.Rh3 Qe5 25.Rd1 Bxc5 26.Qc3 Qxc3 27.Rxc3 b6 28.Rh3 Rxh3 29.Bxh3 Rf8 30.e3 Be7 31.Bg2 c5 32.a4 Rd8 33.Rxd8+ ½–½

II) 9. Bd2

(4) Ignatiev - Bronstein,David [A86]
Kislovodsk, 1968
1.c4 f5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.g3 d6 4.d4 c6 5.Nc3 Qc7 6.Bg2 e5 7.dxe5 dxe5 8.0–0 Bb4 9.Bd2 after this game, people began to consider 9. Bd2 with a line of play which is somewhat active for white 9...e4!? 10.Nd4 Na6 white was threatening, among other things, 11. Nxe4, taking advantage of the undefended bishop 11.Rc1 0–0 12.a3 Bc5 13.Bf4 Qf7 14.b4 Bb6 15.c5 Bc7 16.e3?! [Better was 16.Bxc7 with an equal position] 16...Bxf4 17.gxf4 Be6 18.Nxe6 Qxe6 19.Ne2 Rad8 20.Nd4 Qf7 21.Qe2 Rxd4! An interesting positional sacrifice worthy of meticulous study. Bronstein has excellently judged that his knights will dominate the board and that he will win the f4-pawn, further supporting a formidable attack against the enemy king. In the game, Ignatiev found no solution for his problems, perhaps an astute computer program can offer us some better defense for white. I leave it to the leader to subject this game to stringent analysis; it is really worth doing so. 22.exd4 Nd5 23.Qd2 Nac7 24.Rfe1 Re8 25.Re3 Nxf4! Of course, there is no need to immediately recover the exchange. Bronstein now skillfully converts his advantage 26.Bf1 Qf6 27.Bc4+ Kh8 28.Kh1 Ncd5 29.Bxd5 Nxd5 30.Rh3 h6 31.Rg1 f4 32.Qd1 f3 33.Rhg3 g5 34.Qd2 Nf4 35.Re1 a6 36.Re3 Qf5 37.Qc2 g4 38.Rg1 Nd5 39.Rge1 h5 40.Rg1 h4 and white resigned 0–1

III) 9. Na4

(5) Buj,P - Perez Garcia,H [A81]
Buenos Aires, 1975
1.d4 f5 2.g3 Nf6 3.Bg2 c6 4.c4 d6 5.Nf3 Qc7 6.Nc3 e5 7.dxe5 dxe5 8.0–0 Bb4 9.Na4?! Personally, I don't think that the activity that white undertakes on the queenside justifies the freedom that he gives black in the center and on the kingside. It is a doubtful strategy without any future. This game provides a good example of why. 9...Qe7! 10.a3 Bd6 11.Qc2 0–0 12.c5 Bc7 13.b4 Kh8 14.Bb2 e4 A typical advance which generates strong activity in the center and on the kingside 15.Nd2 e3 16.Nc4 exf2+ 17.Rxf2 Ng4 18.Rf3 Be6 19.e4 Nd7 20.exf5 Bd5 21.Rd3 Rxf5 The knight on a4 is pathetic, completely removed from the game. Already black is ready to triumphantly invade through the f-file. 22.Rd2 Qf7 23.Bxd5 cxd5 24.Nd6 Bxd6 25.cxd6 Rf8 26.Qd3 Nde5 27.Qe2 Nf3+ 28.Kg2 Nxd2 29.Qxg4 h5 and white resigned 0–1

The following is the second article by Hebert Pérez García on the Antoshin Dutch. The notes and analysis are solely his. Unlike the previous article, this time I have included the complete games

Dutch Defense – Antoshin Variation, Note Two
By Hebert Pérez García 
Translated by Mitchell A. Stern 

If white postpones the e4-advance, black has considerably fewer worries. Let’s look at some examples:

(1) Filipowicz,Andrzej - Antoshin,Vladimir S [A86]
Rubinstein-mem (13), 1970
1.c4 f5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.g3 d6 4.d4 c6 5.Bg2 Qc7 6.0–0 e5 7.dxe5 dxe5 8.Nc3 Bb4 9.Qb3 Na6 10.a3 Be7 11.Qc2 0–0 12.b4 e4 13.Ng5 h6 14.Nh3 Be6 15.f3 exf3 16.Rxf3 Bxc4 17.Qxf5 Qd7 18.Qc2 Ng4 19.Bf4 Qe6 20.Raf1 Bf6 21.Nf2 Nxf2 22.R1xf2 Bd4 23.e3 Bb6 with good play for black 24.h4 Nc7 25.Kh2 Nb5 26.Bh3 Qe7 27.Nxb5 cxb5 28.Rd2 Rad8 29.Rxd8 Bxd8 30.Rf2 Bb6 31.Rd2 Re8 32.Rd7 Qf6 33.e4 Qa1 34.Bc1 Rf8 35.Bf5 Rf7 36.Rxf7 Kxf7 37.Qb2 Bd4 38.Qxa1 Bxa1 39.Kg2 Bc3 40.Kf3 b6 41.Bc8 a5 42.bxa5 bxa5 43.Ba6 a4 44.g4 Ke6 45.h5 Kd6 46.Bb7 Be6 47.g5 hxg5 48.Bxg5 Kc7 49.Ba8 b4 50.Bf4+ Kc8 51.axb4 a3 52.b5 a2 53.b6 a1Q 54.b7+ Kd7 55.b8Q Qd1+ 56.Kg2 Qe2+ 57.Kh1 Qf1+ 0–1

(2) Caessens - Perez Garcia,Hebert [A86]
Wijk aan Zee III, 1989
[Pérez García]
1.c4 f5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.g3 d6 4.d4 c6 5.Bg2 Qc7 6.0–0 e5 7.dxe5 dxe5 8.Nc3 Bb4 9.Qb3 Na6 10.a3 Bd6!? [I particularly like this move more than  10...Be7 From the "d6" square, the bishop can eventually exert pressure on the kingside or occupy an important strategic place on "e5"] 11.Qc2 e4 12.Nd4 Be5 [A year later in Hempson, P - Pérez Garcia, Wijk aan Zee III, 1990, I preferred to play 12...Qf7 13.b3 Be5 14.e3 h5 my plan followed a strategy similar to certain variations of the Pirc defense with colors reversed 15.f3 h4 16.fxe4 hxg3 17.hxg3 Bxg3 18.Rf3 f4 19.exf4 Bh2+ 20.Kf1 Bg4 21.Nf5 0–0–0 22.Rd3 Nh5 23.Ne2 Qc7 24.Be3 Nxf4 25.Bxf4 Bxf4 26.Rad1 Be5 27.Qd2 Rxd3 28.Qxd3 g6 29.Nd6+ Kb8 30.b4 Qe7 31.c5 Qh4 32.Ng1 Rf8+ 33.Nf3 Qg3 34.Nf7 Rxf7 35.Qd8+ Bc8 and black won 0–1] 13.e3 h5 [It's possible that 13...Qf7!? is correct] 14.f4 Bxd4 15.exd4 h4 16.Re1 hxg3 17.hxg3 Qf7 18.Qe2 Be6?! [18...Qg6!] 19.d5! Bd7 20.Be3 Qg6 21.Bf2 Kf7 22.b4 with interesting complications. Although black finally won, it was not clear throughout the course of the game 22...Rae8 23.Qe3 Ng4 24.Qxa7 Rh2 25.Ra2 Qh5 26.Be3 Rh8 27.Kf1 c5 28.Qxb7 Nb8 29.Bg1 Rh1 30.Qa7 Qh2 31.Qxc5 Qxg3 32.Nxe4 Nh2+ 33.Ke2 fxe4 34.Bxh1 Qd3+ 35.Kf2 Ng4+ 0–1

A Thematic Combination to Take into Account

(3) Morozova,Tatiana V - Kalashnikova,L [A86]
URS, 1971
[Pérez García]
1.d4 f5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.g3 d6 4.Bg2 c6 5.0–0 Qc7 6.c4 e5 7.dxe5 dxe5 8.Nc3 Bb4 9.Qb3 Na6 10.a3 Be7 11.Rd1? The direct occupation of the d-file brings no benefits to white. To the contrary, white has dangerously weakened the f2-square 11...0–0 12.Qc2 Nc5 13.b4 Nce4 14.Bb2 Nxf2! This striking combination, facilitated by the untimely absence of the rook, unleashes a tremendous black offensive that brilliantly ends the game 15.Kxf2 Ng4+ 16.Kg1 e4 17.Nd4 Bh4!! A notable sacrifice to demolish the fortress 18.Bc1 Bxg3 19.hxg3 Qxg3 20.e3 Qh2+ 21.Kf1 f4 22.exf4 Rxf4+! 23.Bxf4 Qxf4+ 24.Nf3 [24.Kg1 Qh2+ 25.Kf1 Ne3+ etc.] 24...Ne3+ 25.Kg1 Nxc2 26.Rd8+ Kf7 27.Nxe4 Nxa1 28.c5 Ke7 29.Rd1 Qxe4 30.Re1 Qxe1+ A masterfully executed attack which honors the feminine talent. This magnificent game was played between two Soviet women 0–1

Variations on the Same Theme

(4) Both,G - Perez Garcia,Hebert [A85]
Leiden open (1), 1998
[Pérez García]
1.d4 f5 2.c4 Nf6 3.Nc3 d6 4.Nf3 c6 5.g3 Qc7 6.Bg2 e5 7.dxe5 dxe5 8.0–0 Bb4 9.Qb3 Na6 10.Rd1 Be7 11.Qc2 Nc5 12.b4 Nce4 13.c5 a5 14.Bb2 14...Nxf2! The position differs from the previous game but the thematic sacrifice still assures black a demolishing attack 15.Kxf2 Ng4+ 16.Ke1 axb4 17.Na4 Qa5 18.Nb6 Bxc5! 19.Nxa8 b3+ 20.Qd2 Bb4 21.axb3 Bxd2+ 22.Rxd2 Qc5 23.Nc7+ Kf7 24.Bf1? Qf2+ 25.Kd1 Ne3+ The scarce resistance offered by white does not reduce the game's relevance to the theme. The reader should not forget this theme and should study the latent alternatives which lie in the position. Doing so will increase the reader's strength 0–1

Great! Cheesy

I was almost getting tempted to attempt to translate it myself relying on the help of some online automatic translator on the net and post it here, but now I think I'll spare you that sight! Grin

Am I the only one hoping AmateurDragoneer will complete his gracious act of translation? - Judging from the first effort the translation was very well done and the text quite enlightening! Cheesy

Hoping for a sequel! Would pretty please with sugar on top help? Wink

T D Harding's old Leningrad Dutch Batsford book (1970's?) had a chapter on this line. Along with one on the Basman variation (the Leningrad with ...Nh6 basically. No, I don't understand it either).

According to a review of the new CD "The Dutch defence Leningrad system by Boris Schipkov A86-A89" at

http://www.chessmail.com/books/elburg83.html

"From  the interesting  Antoshin variation 1.c4 f5 2.Nf3 Nf6 3.g3 d6 4.d4 c6 5.Bg2 Qc7 I found around 84 games where four of them are excellent analysed, maybe a interesting alternative?" (sic)
