So, when young Walden (of the Club) happened to sit down to play his two-game match against the highest bidder, he was unaware that he was facing an opponent who was fully-prepared with analysis for play with both the White and the Black pieces.
Walden, however, was a juvenile practitioner of the dark arts of the irregular, baroque and largely irrelevant chess opening - committed to the detritus constantly being swept to the side of the road along Caissa's path.
One thing was clear: Perry was playing the disparaged Damiano Defense, with the White pieces.

This has got to be the best analysis anywhere in print of this important positional line in the Grand Prix, where White plays Bb5 with the intention of doubling Black's c-pawns rather than the more provocative Bc4 (which is questionable against most e6 lines for Black).
