  azaris: Even with a dubious opening, Marshall acquires compensation for his pawn and then steamrollers over his opponent in the endgame.

I think Janowski's play was less than satisfactory. Maybe he should have tried 19. Ndxe6!? h6 20. Nxc5 hxg5 21. Nxd7 Nxd7, which at least draws and the e-pawn might even win the game if he manages to hold on to it.

27. Rxg7 could have been answered with 27...Ke8! winning the exchange and removing all hopes of drawing, but nevertheless Black is hopeless lost. The queenside pawns drop without further ado and the threat posed by the h-pawn is non-existent.

Jan-04-06  prinsallan: <azaris> The Albin is not a dubios opening, at least not for mr. Frank James Marshall. Check the opening and youŽll see that this is his favourite opening... And that includes playing both black and white!
