 In the early 1930s, the nascent FIDE embarked on a project to standardize opening nomenclature, culminating in the publication of a short booklet in 1933, but this had little impact.The oldest openings tend to be named for geographic places and people.Many openings are named after nationalities of players who advocated them, for example Indian, English, Spanish, French, Dutch, Scotch, Russian, Italian, Scandinavian, and Sicilian, or places where important games featuring the opening were played such as Vienna, Berlin, and Wilkes-Barre.
