Comments.Text: I should also add that I have looked in the Oxford Companion to chess the first edition, and though it obviously has the Caro Kann defence and mentions Marcus Kann, it does not have an entry for him. Apparently their recommendations for the defence appears in a German magazine "Bruderschaft" in 1886.
