I'm not sure I understand the reference to Gunderam. As far as I'm
aware, the only Gunderam system is in the Panov-Botvinnik Attack line
of the Caro-Kann: 1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.exd5 cxd5 4.c4 Nf6, and now 5.c5
is the defining move of the Gunderam. Is 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Qe7 also named
for Gunderam?
I bought Gunderam's book, 'Neue Eroffnungswege" in 1966 --
unfortunately, it now resides in my storage locker, but, as I
remember, he called the ... Qe7 line "The Queen's Defense".
I think Gunderam may have a variation of the Four Pawns Attack in the
King's Indian named after him.
You may well be right -- I see that his "Neue Eröffnungswege" is in
the bibliography of "The Fearsome Four Pawns Attack" by Konikowski
and Soszynski (Russell Enterprises 2005). If I get a chance I'll try
to find the specific variation.
Thanks for the info, Steven and Mike. I'm always interested in
learning more about the minutiae of opening nomenclature.
