- The Oxford Companion to Chess gives 1898 as the date for this game. The chessgames.com kibitzing indicates that the game was played Jan 7, 1899. This is early enough in the year to explain possible 1898 vs. 1899 confusion. If anyone knows definitively when this was played, that would be helpful. (Edward G. Winter is quite picky about such things, so if he has written about it, that might help.) Quale 07:30, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Another same-named opening?
editChess.com and Lichess both list 1.d4 d5 2.Nc3 c5 as the Irish Gambit, though I'm not sure where they're getting this name from. ISaveNewspapers (talk) 06:38, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
