This thematic tournament emulates the position that Humphrey Bogart plays against himself in the film Casablanca.
Is the result of the French variation:
1.e4,e6 2.d4,d5 3.Nc3,Nf6 4.Bg5,Be7 5.e5,Nfd7 6.h4,c5
and to arrive exactly at the same position showed in the film, you should play 7.Bxe7,Qxe7 8.Nb5
although it depends on you...
Good luck to all!
