Tayler Opening [C44]<br />
Games provided by Peter Bieker<br />
Text and diagrams from G. Gifford<br />
Peter sent three “Tyler Opening” games to me. He<br />
wrote, “I slipped though my databases and found<br />
three games which started with 1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6<br />
3. Be2 Ne7.”<br />
Game 1<br />
[Event "Bundesliga 9192"] [ECO "C44"]<br />
[Site "Germany"][Date: 1992]<br />
[White "Buecker, Stefan" ELO 2365]<br />
[Black "Schoene, Ralf" ELO 2340]<br />
Result "1-0"<br />
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Be2 …<br />
In a brief search for additional Tayler Opening games<br />
[which I have seen some refer to as “Taylor”] I came<br />
across its more descriptive name, i.e., the Inverted<br />
Hungarian Opening; named such because the White<br />
Bishop on e2 gives us an essential invert of the Black<br />
one on e7.<br />
1. e4 e5<br />
2. Nf3 Nc6<br />
3. Bc4 Be7<br />
Hungarian Defense<br />
1. e4 e5<br />
2. Nf3 Nc6<br />
3. Be2 . . .<br />
Inverted Hungarian<br />
Opening<br />
(Tayler Opening)<br />
I am not familiar with the Inverted Hungarian<br />
opening and have never played it.<br />

8.Be3 Kh8 9.Qb3 Nf4 10.Bxf4 exf4 11.Bd3 a6<br />

16.a4 Na7 17.Qc2 c5 18.axb5 axb5 19.Ra5 c4<br />
Wikepedia states that the opening<br />
“… may appeal to White players who wish to avoid<br />
extensively analyzed double king pawn openings<br />
such as the Ruy Lopez and to those who favor<br />
defensive positional maneuvering battles as also<br />
often result from the Hungarian Defense.”<br />

I would not mind having a larger article on this<br />
opening in a future <strong>UON</strong>. Players can send games to<br />
me at penswift@yahoo.com; please put “Tayler for<br />
<strong>UON</strong>” in the subject line.<br />
And now for the games...<br />
