From Hooper, David; Whyld, Kenneth (1987), "Austrian Attack", The Oxford Companion to Chess, Oxford University Press, p. 18, ISBN 0-19-281986-0:

Known since the game Tarrasch–Charousek, Nuremberg 1896, this line was developed by the Viennese players Hans Müller (1896–1971) and [Andreas] Dückstein [1927– ].
