		Unlike Howard Staunton, the other towering British figure of the era, Blackburne did not organise tournaments, produce distinguished openings manuals or write Shakespearean criticism.

		Note: This is not a bust of the Danish, so much, as it is a reassessment of 5...Nf6 as a playable and under rated move in the Danish accepted.
		While certainly not anywhere near a forced win (except perhaps in the particular line Blackburne chose in a Blindfold simul), I do think it gives Black quick equality and perhaps even a small plus.
