| Durateston: This game makes me wonder, do I know anything about chess???? I guess I don't. |

| benveniste: Can anyone explain why Marco didn't play either 19...  xe1 or 19... xf2 to consolidate a material advantage? Either seems a natural followup to 18... d3. |

| alexandrovm: at the end of the game the knight was very usefull to force black making not wishful moves, excelent! |

| khense: <necrosis> 45...bXc6 46 Nc5 white threatens black's rook, black's passed b pawn and there is a mating net if white's rook can get to the 8th rank. Surely black wanted to play 45...bXc6 and decided he couldn't. |

| kevin86: I never had the privelege of drinking 100 year old scotch-but if it is a good a nectar as this is a chess game,it is truly a gift of God. Marshall played himself into an early hole,then gained a draw-----and then pulled a win out of the fire! Just think,he had to give up queen and rook to SAVE the game. |

| Timetraveller: <khense> I've got to agree with necrosis, I think 45...bxc6 wins. After 46. Nc5, b2 the best I see is 47. Rf7, Kb8; 48. Rf1, Ra1 . Another try is 46. Rxc7+, Kb8; 47. Rxc6, Rb4 .
Amazing swindle by Marshall. |

| lopium: Ahaha!! I love this game!! Too nice. Should have been horrible for nerves!!! I guess black thought he was winning once... a couple of moves later, not at all. Even if he missed a win, as Timetraveller seems to make us understand. Nice one anyway. |

| Boomie: As pointed out by <Timetraveller and necrosis>, 45...bxc6 wins. White can try the rook sac trick but it doesn't work here. The white knight gets caught in a bishop basket. 45...bxc6 46.  xc7+  b8 47. b7+ xb7 48. c5+ a7 49. xa4  d4  |

| mcgee: Regarding comments above; 5...dxc3 6 Bxf7+ Kxf7 7 Qd5+ is one viable line for White. Sveshnikov won a fine game against Kupreichik at Hastings in the mid 1980s with this line. |

| prinsallan: I agree with <TheKid> - Truly a magnificent swindle. |

| prinsallan: Been a while, but this game totally stuns me every single time! |

| dtsherer: move ...19 Nf2+ king moves, N anywhere +draw, or rook pinned by white bishop. Any ideas players'? |

| myschkin: . . .
It doesn't look to good for White, but in positions like this <Marshall> was like a fish in the water. He was known to "swindle" in many of his games, and it is true that he was very dangerous when he had a difficult position. He in fact wrote a book called "Chess Swindles" in 1914. |

| lima85: I'm kind of a beginner... can someone explain what happens after 19... Nxe1? |
|

| WhiteRook48: then 20. fxe6 I think
54 Rb2+ is kind of funny :D |
|

| WhiteRook48: funny swindle |

| ROADDOG: Whoa! What a game. I bet Marco drank some (alot)of 100 year old scotch after being Marshallized like that. 54.Rb2+ and 55.Na4+ forking the queen must have been painful to experience. And finally 76.Qa2 = No Mas. |

| d4pawn: It seems Marco simply refused to win this game. He finally let Marshall catch up with his 45...Be5? Others have pointed out that 45...bxc6 holds the lead and should win and indeed it should. However, 45...Kb8 is even stronger. 45...Kb8 46.Rxc7 Rb4 (the passer now has artillery supporting it's advance) 47.Rd7 bxc6 and white is done for. On 45...bxc6 46.Rxc7+ Kb8 I'd like to offer an improvement to 47.Rb7+ given earlier if I may. 47.Rxc6 b2 48.Rb6+ Ka7 49.Rxb2 Bxb2 and black has more work to do than with the rook sac. I like this game for its richness in the variations. The game itself was not very well played by Marshall until the end but the study of this game is most entertaining. |
