I don't know if anyone has taken charge of this, but for my
own purposes I have added an extensive coverage of the Center
Game to our local gnuchess.book and am contemplating adding
my rather comprehensive collection of Petrov Defense lines.
(These may not interest many folks, but I have studied the
Petrov for many years and am looking at the Center Game for
fun. Actually, gnuchess has played some very strong and
interesting initial continuations to some of the Center
Game lines. Its follow-through is, of course, not as good.)
Contact me if you are interested in these.
