 		is this helpful
It seems the Morphy is famous for his brilliant openings and that the opera game is one of the most famous games that illustrate his brilliance. So maybe only the first moves matter??


also the two cities that Varin found are in many states... still going with my Ohio connection, I know they are both there as well.

OK I ran through Varin's work and she's spot-on - the (KT) of course is because two pieces move for castling (rook + king) and she showed both there.

Now what this sorta looks like (though Google led me nowhere) is "Between Athens and Cairo Otita [or Okita, or Oktita] Rex He. Wt." which makes me think they want the height and weight of some king or mountain or some other thing the Romans named with Rex or somesuch...


I just came by the forum - someone tell me where the answer is supposed to be entered if anywhere to see if it's right? Smile
