On the 5th variation, isn't 6. ...Nbd7 an illegal move? If so, what's the correct line?

Avatar of Toldsted

Yes. It should be 6..d5.

Look more closely.

It says d5 in column 5, and the Nbd7 move belongs in column 6.

The typesetter just left out a <Tab> character.

Two typos, no big deal. There are many more and much more serious mistakes.

"Show me three variations in the leading handbook on the openings, and I will show you two of those three that are defective." - Lasker

is still true today.

I seem to have found other errors (typographical or otherwise) and wish there was a central place to find them or post them.
