Guioco Piano Opening 28 Jun 1908, Sun The Philadelphia Inquirer (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) Newspapers.com
The following game was played in the recent match, Franklin vs Manhattan, on May 30. Mlotkowski has made a special study of the Guioco Piano Opening, with its many ramifications, including the Max Lange attack and also the Evans Gambit. Black evidently was aware that his opponent was well posted and relied upon the Hungarian Defense, which leads to a class of positions similar to Philidor's Defense. A perfectly sound line of play, but giving Black a cramped and uninteresting game. Black unnecessarily allowed. White to win a Pawn early in the opening, but after that played with considerable skill, and while White had certainly the advantage when the game was concluded, yet we fully unite with J. Capablanca's decision that it could only be adjudicated as drawn.
