Chigorin defense chess games

My goal was just to show the ideas and demonstrate typical attacking patterns of the opening.

Putting on two waistcoats was a common occurrence for him. Leaving the house with an umbrella he would rarely return with it, having lost it somewhere along the way, though soon afterwards he would bring five of them and put them all down carefully in the correct corner.
