Jan-24-04		Benzol: If 16...d5; 17.xd5 cxd5; 18.e6 will win. A good game from Marshall.

Jul-02-04		nikolaas: I never knew Maroczy could be beaten so fast.

Aug-07-04		Marquis De Sade: What's the name of this variation? It takes some brass swingers to sac the night like that.

Aug-07-04		Marquis De Sade: er...the knight. yeah.

Aug-07-04		tpstar: <Marquis De Sade> This is a classic Muzio Gambit, where White allows ... g4 & ... gxf3 to gain time for 0-0 & Qxf3 then smashing through on the Kingside. 6 ... d5!? was pretty bold given the circumstances - maybe 6 ... d6 7. Qxf4 Qf6 instead.

Aug-08-04		An Englishman: Good Evening: I don't think this is a Muzio; isn't that 5.0-0? There are two other ways to sac the Knight. 5.d4 is the Gullim Kassim, but I don't know the name for 5.Nc3. I used to have a Batsford book on the KG a long time ago with every obscure variation receiving a obscure name of some obscure chessplayer. It's amazing what people used to play.

Aug-08-04		Benzol: This variation is called the 'McDonnell Gambit' according to Korchnoi & Zak and also Estrin & Glaskov in their respective books on The King's Gambit. Other games with this interesting variation Maroczy vs Chigorin, 1903 and MacDonnell vs La Bourdonnais, 1834

Aug-06-12		LoveThatJoker: Guess-the-Move Final Score: Marshall vs Maroczy, 1903. YOU ARE PLAYING THE ROLE OF MARSHALL. Your score: 41 (par = 25) LTJ PS. Par is now 26
