| Apr 4, 2020 at 14:57 | comment | added | Quintec | @RemcoGerlich True. Re this example, I'm not particularly sure why ECO distinguishes between 4. Nf3 and 4. Bf4, since the one not played is typically the 5th move anyway. | |
| Apr 4, 2020 at 10:43 | comment | added | RemcoGerlich | ECO codes are a bit technical, and the opinion of a single publisher. There are many variations that get names in there because ECO needed a name for them, that aren't really recognized by any chess players. Like the "Adler variation", I've never seen that used in any article about some line in 4.Nf3. | |
