Isn't the *anti* Marshall with 8.a4, a misnomer
After all, Black gets in ...d5 after 8...b4 9.c3
Here is my FICGS game with the line as Black.  White's 13th is a TN, but it comes to naught. 
8.a4 b4 9.c3 d5 10.exd5 Nxd5 11.d4 bxc3 12.Nxc3...

While this isn't necessarily a bad r...

An Aronian bomb in the Marshall
Released just today, against Karjakin. 20...Bf4!! in a well-known position is nothing short of spectacular. Karjakin declined- maybe the wrong way. Accepting the offer is the engine's choice- no wonde...
