Hello,

White certainly looks better after 25Rg1. If that the case black might have to play 9...f6 10.Qd6 Ne7 110.0.0 e5 instead, although there isn't many games in this line.

Bye John S

9.Bc3 Ne7 in the Marshall Gambit

Currently in the Marshall ebook there's a line, recently thought very dangerous indeed, which goes as follows:

1. d4 d5 2. c4 e6 3. Nc3 c6 4. e4 dxe4 5. Nxe4 Bb4 6. Bd2 Qxd4 7. Bxb4 Qxe4 8. Be2 Na6 9. Bc3 Ne7 10. Bxg7 Rg8 11. Bf6

which is of course the influential Lautier-Gurevich game in which the latter got crushed after 11...Qf4.

Wells is dsimissive of 11...Rg6 because of 12. Bc3 but the ebook gives the followign continuation:

12...Qxg2 13. Qd2 Qxh1 14. O-O-O Nd5 15. Nf3 Qg2 16. cxd5 cxd5 17. Ne5 Bd7 18. Qf4 Rg7 19. Nxd7 Qg5! 20. Nf6 Ke7 21. Qxg5 Rxg5

and says that "Black's position is quite acceptable since after 22. Nxh7 Rf5 23. Bd4 f6 White should be careful about his knight".

What is proposed Black does after 25.Rg1 ? The threat is 26.Rg7+ after which the knight not only escapes but takes the f-pawn. If Black tries 25...e5 to protect it then White plays 26.Rg7+ Kd6 27.Bg4 Rf4 28.Be3 which drives the rook from defence of the troubled pawn. Rybka thinks that Black's position is going the way of all flesh - is there any reason to disagree? Is the position after Black's 23rd actually +- rather than =?
