Credibility

Suggesting that The Oxford Companion to Chess is an unreliable source is rich. I have both Murray and Hooper & Whyld, and I can confirm that those references are accurately summarized in the article. Three pages of Hooper & Whyld are used as a reference for all the claims in one paragraph, and I will cite the statements with the individual page numbers to make the supporting reference more clear.

Because this is how you are trying to assert it, but you should not. Even if it's a minor edit, it's wrong, because this book "Chess History and Reminiscences", mentions those theories, so no way they are being denied either.
