Last week's episode of the West Wing TV show included the "President" playing two games of chess. In one, he recognized his opponent's opening was the Evans Gambit based on the opponent's first move (!); in the other, he immediately recognized the Fibonacci Opening. I haven't played serious chess for years -- some of my friends might say Never -- but I don't recall anything named after Fibonacci. His era antedates Ruy Lopez by about 3 centuries. Does anyone know of a Fibonacci opening? Rich rcs@cs.arizona.edu
