Should these be wikified and have articles? Meelar 17:12, 28 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Well... it's fine to have articles on particular openings, for sure (we have, for example, Nimzo-Indian, Ruy Lopez and others), but my view is that it isn't a great idea (at least at this stage) to have an article on every ECO code. What the list needs, I think, is some organisation under larger headings - "B20-B99: Sicilian Defence", "C00-C19: French Defence" and that sort of thing - and those headings can link to articles about the openings. It also needs to explication - a note like "B44=Sicilian defense" is not particularly useful. It needs to say exactly what lines fall under B44. I may have a go at doing this myself over the next week or so. --Camembert
An afterthought: it might actually be best to have a simpler list, maybe just arranged alphabetically, here, and move the ECO classification to Encyclopedia of Chess Openings. In any case, a simple list without codes would be good, I think. The list as it stands looks pretty daunting. Anybody else have any thoughts? --Camembert
- The full list is useful, but is too big to go into Encyclopedia of Chess Openings. A simpler (and wikified) list would be nice if we actually had articles on those openings, but currently most openings are discussed in chess opening, so I think the status quo is fine. -- Arvindn 07:32, 29 Mar 2004 (UTC)
