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... Started 12/08/25 at 20:36:08 by George Jempty |

New Wrinkle in the Marshall
A little over a month ago Shirov used the following variation of the Marshall (introduced by Smeets and Stellwagen shortly before Shirov tried it out) to win a couple of games in the FIDE World Cup:<b...

Should I allow the marshall or decline it with h3?
I currently play both the h3 anti marshall and play into the marshall with the 12.d3 line. I would say I have better knowledge of the marshall and I am quite a fan of the endgames white can get. My on...

Is the Marshall Attack a draw?
I have been experimenting with the Marshall as of late.
Most master games in the three main lines 11...c6, 11...Nf6, and 11...Bb7 seem to lead to a draw. While this isn't necessarily a bad r... Started 06/12/22 at 01:39:35 by DiscipleOfKeres |

According to GM Hedinn Steingrimsson review of the DVD, Gustafsson is a true expert in the variation and his presentation is very good. He manages to use the multimedia format very well. He explains B...

Returning the pawn
In a recent game, I met an idea I wasn't familiar with.
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. 0-0 Be7 6. Re1 b5 7. Bb3 0-0 8. c3 d5 9. exd5 Nxd5 10. Nxe5 Nxe5 11. Rxe5 c6 12. d4 Bd6 13. Re1... Started 08/05/19 at 23:31:09 by RdC |

a4 Anti-Marshall
Today's Svidler-Carlsen game sort of transposed into this. Carlsen played d6 against 6. d3, and then Svidler went a4, Carlsen then castled. Re1 itself wasn't played until move 14.
I uncovered ju... Started 03/21/13 at 22:04:12 by RdC |

11...Bb7 in the Marshall Attack
I was just wondering if there is anything concretely wrong with this move instead of the overwhelmingly more popular 11...c6. I have done some analysis myself and black seems perfectly fine. I then de...

Anti-Marshall question
Hi,
after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bb5 a6 4.Ba4 Nf6 5.0-0 b5 6.Bb3 Be7 7.Re1 0-0 is used to play 8.a4 which seems to be the best anti-marshall move in the position. My question is if 8.a4 is equa... Started 07/07/14 at 14:31:13 by Kinghunter (Ex Member) |

Avoiding early draws in the Marshall
The only thing that puts me off the Marshall is that it seems White can draw easily if he wants. For instance, in this line:
1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6 3. Bb5 a6 4. Ba4 Nf6 5. O-O Be7 6. Re1 b5 7. Bb3 O... Started 10/26/12 at 09:53:45 by BobbyDigital80 « Pages 1 2 3 all » |

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...

Marshall with 12.d3
This is trouble for Black, sez I. After 12...Bd6 13.Re1 Bf5 14.Qf3 Qh4 15.g3 Qh3 16.Bxd5 cxd5 17.Qxd5 Rad8 18.Qg2, I'm not sure that 18...Qh5 deserves the exclam that it's awarded in the pdf file her...

Marshall good for win?
I bought this book and noticed that there are some lines that end in forced draws. Does the author feel that White can force a draw in the Marshall if he wants to? I don't see Pavlovic giving any alte...

Question about the mainline Marshall
A quick question about the following line:

Best try against the Marshall?
Hello all,
I've been working on a Ruy Lopez Repertoire for a while, and I've moved on to the Marshall, but I'm having a hard time finding anything (surprising, I know). I've been looking at 12. ... Started 06/28/09 at 22:33:07 by TonyRo |
