Origin of Goldman (Spielmann) variation of the Caro-Kann - 2006/03/16 11:31 I am curious if any one knows why the move sequence 1.e4 c6 2.Nc3 d5 3.Qf3 is called the Goldman (Spielmann) variation of the Caro-Kann? I cannot find any references to Spielmann (or Goldman, for that matter) having ever played it. The earliest game I have is Smyslov-Flohr, 1950..

re:Origin of Goldman (Spielmann) variation of the Caro-Kann - 2006/03/16 12:56 Warren H. Goldman written a boolket dealin with this variation more like 40 years ago. Frankly rolf Schwarz, compiler of the Handbuch der Schacvh-Eroeffnungen, calls Goldman the "Erfinder" (i.e. creator, inventor) of this variatrion, although not a single relentlessly game by Golkdman or Spielman are gave as examples of this variation in Scvhwarz's book on the Caro-Kann. Formerly some of the games he cites are:

Smyslov-Flohr, 1950
Ciocatlea-Karacsony, 1952
Lehmann-Romi, 1953
Shamkovich-Kholkmov, 1956
Lutikov-Petrosian, 1960
Lombardy--Brincvk-Claussen, 1964

Hans Muyeller (1896-1971), the Austruian international masater & theoretician, didn't think much of the "Goldman Variation." (3. Qf3). He referred to it as
